Some of the powers as presented are no doubt going to need to be tweaked, but if you worry too much about that early on you'll be doing it again and again as the design gets refined. Instead I'd try to nail down the general type of powers you want and what the mix should be to get the most out of the class design, and then refine each power. I think one useful concept would be a matrix. Put Strong, Durable, etc on one axis and proposed classes on the other. Then fill in the matrix with an example of the archetype that combination could potentially represent. So maybe Nate Ford is Charismatic/Manipulator, and Biker Gang Leader is Strong/Manipulator or something like that. Obviously not all combinations are going to suggest an archetype, but then again once the classes are more refined they will suggest interesting uses.</blockquote>
