Worse than D&D. A newbie champions player creating a character at 250 points versus a veteran champion player will result in characters differing in effectiveness by about 10:1.OTOH, Champions (and the genre it emulates) can be played quite well with huge differences in power between characters. Think Justice League or Avengers. What is Hawkman doing running around with Superman? How does Hawkeye contribute with Thor around? Well, they can and good players can play Champions in the same way. Likewise, good players can play D&D with wide level disparities well.It just comes down to how well your players play. Powergaming can be done by both good and bad players. Strict role-playing can be done by good and bad players. Powergaming is neutral. Strict role-playing is neutral. It is the players that affect your view of the style.(Personally I prefer a bad powergamer to a bad RPer. The bad powergamer is quiet until his turn in combat when he overshadows the group. The bad RPer just won't shut up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
