Philipp,

I was asked specifically why HERO was incompatible with Fantasy and I answered as well as I could within a reasonable amount of brevity.

Lord Liaden,

Your comment seems reasonable. I have not in fact seen 5th edition magic, but I have very BAD memories of FH in the fourth edition version and I do have FRED. It seems to me that you can't do much to address the points I made about magic without scrapping the 'generic' framework of HERO and starting over. This is a problem that at least in Fantasy, GURPS doesn't have.

As for stats, the player that DOESN'T min-max in HERO has a name:

CHUMP

Seriously, when the main book tells you to min-max, you have to assume it.
