The game is OGL and fast-paced. It does not have any of the standard d20 conventions. There are no Classes, no Levels, no Hit Points, no AoO, etc. The game is Point and Effects-based. The game uses an innovative Damage Save mechanic and only requires a single d20 to play. Basically you roll To...

Here is a list of upcoming material: Hero High: Teen heroes sourcebook by Lucien Soulban (Lockdown); includes expanded Freedom City chapter on the Claremont Academy and the Next-Gen. Gen Con 2007 Paragons Campaign Setting: Gen Con 2007 A More Perfect Union: Introductory adventure for Paragons...

You might want to take a look at Agents of Freedom as well. There is a lot of good "super" agent advice in the book as well as a lot of nice new Equipment usable for that type of character.

To my mind if someone asks a specific question on a forum they are generally wanting an answer and there are manyl people there who are happy to give answers. If someone asks a philosophical questions they are going to get answers based on each persons interpretation - that can lead to...

In Point-based and Effects-based games almost every aspect of it is open to interpretation. It is not like D&D where you can pick a spell like Magic Missile and know exactly what it does - and even the mighty EnWorld has had its share of confrontational posts on less succinct aspects of D&D such...

I find that a lot of it depends entirely on how you present yourself to the forum. If your first post to the forum is complaining that Super-Speed is broken because it will not let you get multiple attacks in a single Round or that Shapeshift is broken because the Archetype example in the book...

I assume the intent is to have copies of Paragons for sale at Gen Con . That does not mean the book will be in wide release at that time though. We saw what happen with M&M 2E at Gen Con two years ago and the feeding frenzy it caused when the regular books were shipped from China much later. I...

The only information which has been released so far is this Design Journal and the information about the book from Green Ronin's Online store.

Ah. That makes sense then. I do not believe I would have the necessary willpower to create a character who could not cause direct damage though. I like hearing the bones go crunch when I roll my d20. :)

That is an interesting concept. Of course, being the combat monster that I am, instead of Teleport I would have gone with Trip (Touch Range: -1, Knockback: +1) at 1pp/Rank so that I could get the Knockback Damage benefits. :)

I am not really certain Ultimate Power will be of much assistance here. The main thing to remember about Arrays, and Alternate Power Arrays from the Core book, is that they are really all about the total points of the "first Power." In a normal Alternate Power Array the "first Power" is the...

No, takyris is correct in that Magic from the Core book is an Array Power. A Container is several different Powers which all have the same Descriptor and all work at the same time; and they are bought in groups of five point Ranks. That is very true. It is just as easy to buy: Blast 10 [AP...

Mutants & Masterminds 2E is my superhero system of choice. The game is OGL, so it will be easy for you to learn, and fast-paced but very unlike traditional d20. You can see some Marvel and DC character write-ups using the system here. You can download a PDF of the entire first chapter of the...

There is a 1,000 post thread on the Hero forum about said thing. People are sharply divided on that one. My own opinion is that it is just a crock of writer's fiat. :) I think the ultimate point is that when designing characters you must design them for the average not the extreme. If you...

I am adopting my point of view because we are talking about a game system not comic books. As I have said several times now Spidey surviving such a thing in a comic is WRITER's FIAT - the writer decides that Spidey only gets three small slashes on his arm. In Champions Wolverine is looking at...
