Blackmoor Vituperative

Another day, another unhelpful response from Steve Long about Hero System.

A Hero Games customer who goes by the nickname of TheQuestionMan asks:

Can you put Characteristics in Multipowers?

(from Hero Games’ discussion forum, Can you put Characteristics in Multipowers?)

Long, as helpful as ever, replies,

5ER 139, top right, specifically references rules about doing so.

(from Hero Games’ discussion forum, Can you put Characteristics in Multipowers?)

The proper answer is that yes, you can put Characteristics in a Multipower. However, you are required to take the “No Figured Characteristics (-1/2)” Limitation on any Characteristics in a Multipower. One can find the specific rules for this on pages 139 and 140 of H5R.
