Heir to Fortune question I'm wondering if my copy has a typo or something? Mine says that characters with resources of Excellent or below should not take the talent... but are those not exactly the characters who would want to take it?

I'm sure it's been covered before but - what is the best & simple way to change as written the Heir to Fortune talent so it works well in game?

Getting the Talent raises Resources to RM or +1CS to Resources if already RM or better.

Seems like the best way for that, without the 'can only get at start of game' deal since there's no reason why I character couldn't get an inheritance later on. Heck we see that happen in Alpha Flight with Vindicator's wife, getting an inheritance from her family's side of things.]]> Nightmask General Discussion Sun, 10 Dec 2023 21:01:40 -0700 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85947#msg-85947 Re: Heir to Fortune question https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85947#msg-85947

It is absolutely a waste of a talent. It does nothing for the character as written.

For a super smart hero or hero with a battle suit option talent, or unique weapon this talent grants heroes that ability to have access to specialized equipment.

One has to be creative with it.

Think Batman, Iron Man, or Mister Fantastic.

Or if you are using a villain for example Doctor Doom.]]> Taarna General Discussion Fri, 17 Nov 2023 08:54:35 -0700 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85916#msg-85916 Re: Heir to Fortune question https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85916#msg-85916

You really have to wonder what they were thinking. A Fixed Income/Inheritance talent seems more reasonable. It's not like there aren't regular payouts that many people get that are well below Remarkable rank in RL yet still give them a fixed income that they don't have to work for (heck Social Security for example is like that). So you could have a PC that has say a wealthy family background but a fixed allowance that sets them at Typical or Good Resource rank without having to work for it. But you generally can't work that in for the game, at least some games if the GM is overly rigid about interpreting things and insists that they need a talent for that but since the game has no talent for that then you're out of luck.]]> Nightmask General Discussion Fri, 20 Oct 2023 18:46:25 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85897#msg-85897 Re: Heir to Fortune question https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85897#msg-85897 barna10 General Discussion Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:53:53 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85542#msg-85542 Re: Heir to Fortune question https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85542#msg-85542 Nightmask General Discussion Wed, 01 Mar 2023 08:20:41 -0700 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85539#msg-85539 Re: Heir to Fortune question https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85539#msg-85539
Alternatively, I think you could count it as a +2CS to resources rank roll]]> Username General Discussion Sun, 19 Feb 2023 12:00:32 -0700 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85538#msg-85538 Heir to Fortune question https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85538,85538#msg-85538
