The beauty of the system is that its a point buy system, we can make the Character Creation point be PL 10(150PP) and that is simply the default, if people want to play lower power characters, well, they are free to, they can use as many PP as they want, up to PL 10(150PP).  Powerlevel can have as much or as little do with experience as we want.  An example from DC comics would be Super Girl, when she gets to earth, she is PL 12-14, she has absolutely no experience, but she is still powerful, or Cyclops for that matter, his blasts have never gotten more powerful, he has simply gotten more experience and improved his tactical thinking, aim, etc.Naturally we might need some form of minimum PL(Maybe 5-8) just for balance reasons, but this allows people to play their own concept of their characters.  You can be a powerful but inexperienced hero, or have weaker powers and vast amounts of experience.  I think forcing this to below the default level of power for Mutants and Masterminds will drive away people who would possibly be interested.  I think that the Archetype characters from the chapter 1 PDF download are the power level that we should be shooting for here.<a href="http://64.17.155.164/2e_files/MM2eCh1.pdf" target="_blank">http://64.17.155.164/2e_files/MM2eCh1.pdf</a>My feelings are tht I am not interested in playng low power, and I am most likely not the only one.  Why force the whole thing to be low powered when you can simply set up a maximum starting character point, and those who choose to play at a lower power level for whatever reason can do so while those who don't want to don't have to.  I think that just saying up front that the games default power level is too high so you cannot play it will lose you players.</blockquote>
