This product has prolly officially become a part of my art studios plan of attack for sometime late fall or early next year as development has started falling in place. As I said earlier it is a complete overhaul of the D20 system, so quite a few things have changed. The base attack bonus is now based on Dexterity. As there are no levels to advance this attack bonus a new skill called brawl is being implemented. You simply purchase ranks in it and increase your BAB or improvements to your dexterity etc. CHaracter creation will be purchase based using starting character points as opposed to rolling dice.Hit points will be even simpler, they are your Constitution score Flat out. Some feats will increase your HP (or body points) beyond your Con score, such as toughness etc. Another score that deals with mental damage has been created based on your Wisdom, called Psyche. PSyche works basically the same as your HP.Yeah, we will have knockback with rules variables to demonstrate different campaign types. Initially we will provide rules for Urban (Bat-man or Spiderman), Global (Starman or other second tier type heroes) and COsmic level (Superman). A future sourcebook will detail sidekick level play. Back to knockback though. In the standard rules every point of damage sustained after the soak will do 1 foot knockback. This will put an emphasis on the running and hitting like battles that superheroes engage in in every issue.We are currently working out the advantages and disadvantages system, and I don't want to go into too much as we have some things we need to keep from the public. LOLPowers will, much like CHampions, be VERY flexible and customizable using this system. A lot of the system for powers will rely on special effects on the part of the player. Example being the energy blast, you decide where it comes from, be it the hands, eyes or sphincter. Then using the tweaking system (our name for it) you can vary the power to your tastes.We are  working on an idea for templates so that you can play aliens and archetypal characters. The would be power and skill packages at a reduced cost in the character creation process. As I said templates will include alien races (three initially) and archetypal character types like Urban Legend, Patriotic Hero, Brick, Robot and Mutant. These templates will ensure playability right out of the box. The templates are not definite yet though and may be edited out before final release. Overall the system is called Unlimited Power and will initially be published in a pdf format. All rules content will be sperate from the included campaign setting and be OGC, so you can use the rules to publish yer own campaign setting and variations etc. We think this will be a big step in the viability of the system and ensuring the success of the core book etc. The book will NOT carry the D20 system logo as per the licenses on WOTC website. This is similar to what is happening with the Everquest D20 game.I am currently creating an email group for playtesters that should be open in about a month, when we get the basics together. Playtesters will be asked to keep mum on the specifics of the game system until after the release date.
