[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 7493479, member: 6799649"] Ah! I misunderstood the 'tightly themed' part of your original post. I thought 'tightly themed' was referring to the PC's power set being 'tightly themed', and couldn't understand why you thought this was a bad thing! I thought you were suggesting that the player is somehow out of order for spending his build points on powers of his own choosing. It turns out that you meant that [I]your campaign[/I] was 'tightly themed'! Fine. I've already posted, numerous times, that the player must make a PC according to both the rules of the game AND the parameters of the campaign. If the DM says before hero creation that this is a street-level, gritty campaign and create appropriate heroes, the the DM is well within his rights to refuse Kal El. Just like my DM could refuse Cyber Ninja on the grounds that there is no cyberware in his fantasy setting, or refuse the werewolf angle if there are no werewolves in his world. [/QUOTE]
