[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5705417, member: 11437"] Hey guys and gals, I'm not going to have much of a chance to review your characters until early next week. I am driving to an out-of-state wedding and I won't be back until Sunday night. A few things I wanted to toss out there: I'm going to enforce some of the gray-area rules regarding power descriptors. Each of your powers should have one of the following origin descriptors: [s]Alteration (being something you acquired during your lifetime), Innate (something specific to your race, if not human), Magic, Mutation (being something you were born with), or Technology. Anything purchased as a "power" needs to have one of these descriptors. In addition, unless the power is personal, it needs to have an effect descriptor as well. This is usually a damage type (electrical, fire, physical, psionic, and so forth), but it can also apply to other sorts of powers.[/s] We'll use the descriptors in the book. Somehow I missed these! Ignore the above! ORIGIN: Accidental, Bestowed, Invented, Mutant, Training SOURCE: Biological, Cosmic, Divine, Extradimensional, Magical, Moral. Psionic, Technological MEDIUM: This is where you list the energy type, etc. If all of your powers have the same descriptors, you only need to list them once; if you do not list separate descriptors, it will be assumed that all of your descriptors are the same. Particularly unusual effect descriptors may incur a flat +1pp cost (depending on rarity). Your characters have been heroes in the setting for some period of time. Please build them as such. PL 10 is a bit above the average joe sort of hero (most supers would start off as PL 8 in this setting). Forever Freedom (your hero group) has been around for a generation or two (30+ years) and has some notoriety. The other groups know of your group and have neutral to friendly relationships with you. Finally, in your back stories, feel free to make use of the NPCs I have given you - some of you already have. There is a VERY GOOD chance you will run into them! [/QUOTE]
