(Although I am pretty proud of the whole thing, I'm particularly happy with the wound track, which is something I've never seen in a d20 game before.)I've actually got an idea on modelling superpowers that didn't make it into the Toolbox. (I wanted to test it out a bit first, but tearing my gaming group away from Mutants and Masterminds is not something easily done!) But in a nutshell, there's no powers list. You define a group of powers in a nutshell, and buy up to three skills for it: Offense, Defense, and [Other] (I can't think of a good name for the 'Other' skill yet). All attacks are handled with Offense, all defensive moves are handled with Defense. And anything else you do with it uses Other; that covers a lot of the crazy stunts supers can perform that don't cleanly fit into other categories. (A possible fourth category that might be needed would be "Movement".) If a power isn't useful for a particular category, then you don't need to buy any skill ranks in it. So looking at the Fantastic Four as an example, Reed Richards would have Stretching Powers, with a low Offense, high Defense, and high Other. The Human Torch would buy a high Offense, low-to-medium defense, and a decent Other for flying and the like. Sue's invisibility would be almost pure Defense; her force fields would have a fair Offense, loads of Defense, and a good Other, since she uses them for all sorts of odd things. Ben would be pure Offense and Defense, with just a couple of points in Other.But like I said, it's completely untested so far, but it seems like it could work. I came up with originally when I was trying to retool supers for Fudge, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't port over to other systems.</blockquote>
