The crux of Sylar's character is that he kills people with special powers and steals their power. How would that work in a d20 game? The very idea of a character who can take abilities from defeated enemies seems to run counter to the notions of "balance" that pervade the d20 system, but could it still be done somehow?</blockquote>
