		Heroes typically join your party as part of a quest.
		After you've recruited a Hero for your storyline (usually as a reward for a quest), you have the option of adding that Hero to your party whenever you're in a town or outpost.
		Your Hero's AI determines when skills are used, but you can interrupt that routine by clicking on a skill on the Hero's small skill bar.

	Grey Hero (Greyhawk Fantasy Hero System)
		Grey Hero is roleplaying in the World of GREYhawk fantasy setting using the HERO System Rules.
		The rules system should allow an accurate simulation of the source material for the setting as well as allowing the GM to expand in any way that he sees fit without being hampered by limiting rules -- HERO is just such as a rules system.
		The advantage to using an established rules system over the GMs is similar in that the GM doesn't have to come up with all of the rules himself; he can use what has already been worked out and share with other fans.

	Top 10 Myths about the Hero System
		There are a number of myths which crop up about the HERO system, usually from people who played or just looked at Champions briefly and extrapolated wildly from there.

		Some earlier HERO system games were more streamlined, such as Danger, International and Justice Inc. However, the current 5th edition rules (released in 2002) is definitely written with a very technical, lawyerly slant.

	RPGnet: Review of Hero System Sidekick
		Sidekick, the "Quick start for the HERO system" is a 128 page, "simplified" system designed to provide a low-cost and low-complexity entry point for new users to the HERO system.
		This "whole system" design proves to be Sidekick’s specific Achilles heel. Even at the 128-page mark, for example, Sidekick suffers in comparison to the 96 pages Tri-Stat DX as far as just general robustness goes.
		It is said that crunchy systems with rigidly defined rules - such as D&D - tend to put power in the hands of the player at the expense of the GM.

	HERO System
		The System was one of the first games to have a really extensive treatment of the subject as memory serves, and it is integrated directly into the game mechanics rather than tacked on as an after thought.
		In the SFX driven HERO System, an individual character might have an ability purchased as a Skill that conceptually indicates an inborn ability or Power, such as a super-dexterous character with an insanely high Breakfall and Acrobatics Skills defined as expressions of their superhuman abilities rather than a trained ability.
		The most significant is that in a structured game like the HERO System it really is safer to build a Power construct outside of a game and check it strenuously, doing it on the fly because a character just flipped their VPP around in the middle of play can be problematic and time consuming.

	The Hero System and Champions
		The Hero System is one of those games that I have played forever, it seems.
		I feel that it is more internally consistent than, say, GURPS or other generic systems, and the basic mechanics that are used in the game are kept to a minimum.
		Running a Hero System game in a fantasy setting was a goal of mine for quite some time until I finally did it and discovered how hard it was to toss together spur-of-the-moment NPCs.

	The Hero System - Some Reflections
		Hero is confusing in this regard, in that their terminology is different from anything else I've seen.
		In the Hero rules, a special effect is what anybody else would call a power, while a power represents something you can do with that special effect.
		In Hero terms, he had Flight, Energy Blast, Telekinesis, and Telescopic Hearing powers based on a special effect of controlling the winds.

		My system of choice is the Hero System, a very flexible (though somewhat complex) roleplaying system which will allow you to build just about any sort of character for any genre.
		The only real fault I find with the HERO System is that its generic nature makes it somewhat flavourless, which can be a real problem when playing in an Epic Fantasy, magic-rich milieu.
		And of course, I suppose I'd better let you know where to find Hero Games, which is back in action under new management after a long and distressing hiatus, during which the company was virtually killed by a succession of terrible owners.
