[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 1684657, member: 12332"] It seems to be pretty nice. I statted up a character with it earlier today. It was fast, for me, as I used a Excel cha-gen to make the base character, then layered the B&V stuff on top, adjusting as I added super powers. At 5th level the character was pretty heroic, but not insane. I'd like to look at M&M but either it's insanely popular or they have total crap for distro as I've been to half a dozen different retail places as of today and nary a copy between them. I HAVE B&V ... and I have all kinds of monsters I can toss at them. I downloaded a copy of Four Color To Fantasy ... mmm ... didn't work as well for my style as B&V because it seems to depend on that new core class. I'll run through it again, might have missed an easy way to layer those hero points onto existing base classes. I'll lay one of my BIG prejudices out, though, as to any system. The biggest thing that makes Mutants and Masterminds attractive to me? Somebody has created a nice, fully-loaded character generator in Excel for M&M. What would take 30-45 minutes of point-counting and adjusting and jinking around takes 10 minutes with a Cha-Gen. When I need to make a bunch of NPCs and enemies or when I need to gen some characters, that sort of thing saves me SO much time. One reason I love d20Modern is I have a really nice Character generator in Excel for it. So much saved time. I love it. So B&V works pretty well for me in that I can stat up at least the first three levels in 5-10 minutes. The other stuff takes longer, but not as long as it would if I were using a system I didn't have any sort of tool for. That's just me, tho. --fje [/QUOTE]
