[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 646322, member: 63"] Don't give X hero points per level. Remember that every 8 HrPs is worth about one level, so with your current system, they level up twice every time they level up. If you want to double their advancement, I suppose you can go for it, but some characters might hit a block and not be able to think of any more useful powers. I suppose they can always just default to things like flat bonuses to their ability scores, saves, or attack bonus, but if you're giving them HrPs to improve their super powers, then you'd kinda be wasting them. I don't see why using levels of Hero doesn't work, since it lets people advance their powers if they want, or just improve their skills, and everyone can still be equal, but if you really don't want to use the class, you could just give a flat number of Hero Points, maybe 8 or 16, and then whenever they would level up, half the time give them 8 HrPs, the other time give them a level. Since the options are balanced, though, it really doesn't make a difference either way. [/QUOTE]
