Ok, a few comments about items are needed here.  A lot of the information
regarding weapons is abbreviated or not well documented - mostly due to it
being more of a GM nature, but we all know GMs are soooper geniuses.

Regarding spells in items: all spells are treated like new powers, although
there aren't many limitations and even fewer advantages you can apply to
them.  Generally, charges are the only limitations I allow, but do to the
nature of the system, any charges start off with a additional -1: 1 charge
is a -3.5 limitation, whereas 250 charges is -0.  Since having the spell
as a power allows you to use it whenever you want, I felt that charges
would be more restrictive than in normal Hero.


Weapons (Missile and Melee)

At the head of the file you will see a list of limitations common to
all of that type, as well as symbols for limitations common to certain
subgroups.
In each group following you will find the following fields:

   Weapon: What the weapon is called, and it's "rank" (ie, it's plus).
	Note that ranks/"plusses" and OCV do not directly map; a "+1
	short sword", for example, has +2 OCV, since the base weapon
	has a +1 OCV.

   OCV (and [Rmod] for missiles): the bonus to OCV, and the cost in
	parenthesis.  the numbers in [] are just bonuses to range mod.

   Damage: the number of dice of damage the weapon does, and the base
	cost.  Suffices show the type of damage - K for killing, N for
	normal, and AP for armor piercing.

   STR min: the strength min to wield the weapon, and how having that
	minimum affects the cost of the weapon.  A bit of extrapolation
	occurs here, as Hero only goes up to a +1 (-10 STR min) in their
	published rules.  This equates to +0 for "having a STR min", and
	I need more than that for the range of weapons.

   STUNx: indicates if the STUN modifier is changed.

   Cost: The final cost.  I don't figure cost directly by the book;
	I calculate the base damage of a weapon modified by all
	advantages *except* for the STR min modifier.  Then, I add
	the STR min modifier to the base limitations (as per the
	file header) and find cost.  Example:

	A +3 (3rd rank) hammer has base OCV of +3 (15 pts), base damage
	of 2d6 killing (30 pts) and a STR min of 11.  The advantage on
	STR min is +1/2 at this level.  The cost of the weapon is first
	based on the damage it does plus non-STR min modifiers:

	(30 pts + 15 pts) x (1 + 1/2 [+1 to STUN mod]) = 67 pts

	Modify this with the other limitations plus STR min modifier:

	67 / (1 + (3) [lim: Independant & OAF] - 1/2 [adv: STR min]) = 19 pts

	There, nice & overly complicated!  I also include the cost
	of building the "base" (non-magical) weapon.  This is for
	reference, as well as in case you want to give weapon builders
	a rebate of sorts for what they can buy just for money.






Miscellaneous Weapons:

No costs are listed here, as I allow for, say, holy avenger maces and spears
of disruption.  I do list advantages I add to the base weapon to make it a
weapon of the appropriate ilk.


Potions/Scrolls:

At the head of the file you find the common limitation.  For each potion
or scroll, you find the following fields:

   Name: as it is in *dnd
   Real Cost: after all modifiers, totals of all powers, for one item
   AoE: the area/what it affects
   Range: if appropriate, the range of the affects
   Duration: how long it lasts
   ... and then the writeup of the item's abilities.


Rings/Rods/Staves/Wands/Miscellaneous Magic:

At the head of the file you find the common limitation(s).  For each
ring/rod/staff/wand/miscellaneous magic item, you have is Name, Real
Cost (all powers totaled), and a breakdown of those powers by definition
and cost.
