This allows for quickly evaluating the feasibility and impact of many actions, even at non-intuitive scales. A unified scale ("Attribute Points" or APs) measuring weight, distance, time, volume, money, and information.Some of DC Heroes' design features include: Because the power level of characters in the DC Universe varies, characters are built using varying amounts of Hero Points depending on the scale of the campaign. As in other points-based games, abilities cost a certain number of Hero Points to buy and improve. Hero Points are also used in the creation of original characters. Hero Points, which are used as experience points, can be spent during play to influence Action Table Results. For example, investigators use AV and EV against a RV to determine the quality of information their efforts gather. All actions taken, even against inanimate objects, use that system. The value of a Power usually serves as both Active Value (AV) and Effect Value (EV) resisted by the target's Resistance Value (RV). For example, when Superman punches someone, he uses Dexterity to see if he connects, Strength to see how hard he hits, and the opposing character's Body to see how much damage he did. Attributes are divided into three categories (Physical, Mental, and Spiritual) and three attribute types (Action, Effect, and Resistance). Powers and Skills reflect innate ability or training. Attributes are the nine qualities every character has.
Depending on the result on the Action Table, play moves to a Results Table to determine the degree of success if an action succeeds.Ĭharacters have a set of Attributes, Powers, and Skills. The die-rolling system involves re-rolling any double result (the same number on both dice), so that any result is possible. Conflicts are resolved using an Action Table and two ten-sided dice. For example, although Superman is many orders of magnitude stronger, Batman is capable of surviving a straight brawl with him for a short period. The scale allows characters of wildly different power levels to co-exist within the same game without one completely dominating a given area. For example, a value of 3 is double a value of 2 and four times a value of 1. DC Heroes uses a logarithmic scale for character attributes. The game system in DC Heroes is sometimes called the Mayfair Exponential Game System (or MEGS).
