Re: (TFT) Re: Normal Human in Champions

I think thats a ( 30 ) good max human cap.

theres a great suppliment from hereos/iron crown enterprses which talks
about
Heroes (jason / argonaut), and i need to relook at the point values for
some of the
heroes and demi gods quoted in the book. Really well thought out stuff.

30 - 60 thing.

Unfortunately the scale isnt linear, it likely doubles at some point.

I need to take a closer look at that.

But whos to say what double a conan is?   Chuck Norris, who when he sheds
tears... the grand canyon fills up with water.

Ill think that one over.

John Henry reference:  Does any one know where I can find a viewable
mpg/avi of the old John henry gospel song filled claymation?

I remember watching it in the sixties along with the Davy and Goliath
claymation bible stories.

John Henry Terminator Mach 1, the man who beat the machine.
