[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5542789, member: 15538"] I don't really worry about giving away three points or whatever. I think it is difficult to figure out when to award a Hero Point based on a Complication like, say, Partial Deafness. And it's hard to distinguish Complications from power modifiers, sometimes... even for the designers. Captain Marvel is listed as the Alternate Form example in DC Adventures, but his character sheet just treats it as a Complication. I meant useless for ALL characters. Your Fighting is completely arbitrary, since the derived stats cost the same (and are easier to fit to PL limits). Intelligence is usually over-costed unless you are one of those rare characters who uses multiple Int skills, but then again, if you have multiple Knowkledge skills, then it's a bargain and skills are overpriced. Charisma... does nothing. You don't need it to "be charismatic" because it doesn't do anything other than set your skill modifiers. In D&D at least there were a few Cha checks here and there, but there really isn't any such thing in M&M 3e. [/QUOTE]
