A hero creation tweak I have in mind...

Michael, I think this sounds good. I really like trying to involve the players in defining more of the world around them. There was an article on Pyramid Online which talked about having players take the persona's of NPC's too!

In HeroWars, and as you have suggested here, I think the problem may be that a single-keyword *follower* becomes much more like an *ally*.

Perhaps having this rule for *allies* or other 'supporting cast' would be OK, but I worry about changing the quality of the Hero's *followers*. This could perhaps be limited somewhat by making sure that ability ratings (in the 25 word desc)are kept real low.

Rusty

Any supporting characters which are included in a hero's narrative merit a separate 25-word write-up outlining their abilities, just like the write-up for hero worship. [cut]
