[QUOTE="Samnell, post: 4303113, member: 130"] This prompts another question. I'm not sure if it would be relevant with my new guy (and if that's the case it could be rendered non-relevant easily enough) but how would you count things that happened as a result of having or getting powers, and are thus derived therefrom, but are not powers themselves? For example, Mark was a fairly homely, beaten-down, scarred-over kid. When he got powers, all of that was fixed in a very rapid regeneration of his skin, some reworking of his muscles, and some changes to his bone structure. I never got into the details because no one was in a position to see Mark pre-powers, but this was a sort of wish-fulfillment thing that took care of some addiction-related self-loathing. He was pretty because he got powers, but his prettiness was more or less natural to his elite body. Losing his powers wouldn't necessarily have put all of that back. Would that kind of thing count as a power against our 40 point elite budget (claimed as an enhanced feat, I suppose) or part of his baseline attributes? Or to put it another way, is permanent elite transhumanism an option or should all elite transhumanism be of the Cinderella variety? :) [/QUOTE]
