And as for some actual beneftis conferred by being a hero, how about some (not all) of the following ideas:
* Heroes accumulate mentor points at 2x rate relative to other characters
* Heroes' physical stats do not decrease at age ticks
* Hereos are immune to fatigue (I know, potentially imbalancing)
* Heros get a scripted item that, at the outset, they get to choose 2 of 10 possible powers (e.g., mirror image, ironguard, resist elements, spell ward, giant strength, haste, sanctuary, etc. etc.)
* Heroes get to write their own help files (this was a really cool benefit of old heroes and should still be possible I imagine)
pudgy
these would also be amazing. the fatigue thing is a bit much, perhaps. but the mentor points one is great. make it just so that main stat doesn't decrease at againg, even.
i'm on board.
I like this idea also without the fatigue immunity.
