M&M Sample Combat

[guedo79]

I'm running a Mutants and Masterminds game and we've been a bit confused about how the combat system works. We settle on something that I think works and then find a rule the conflicts which our interpretation of the rules.

Has anyone seen a sample combat for M&M? Like the kind in the PHB that spells things our to the smallest detail.

Or if you just have questions about specific rules, Atomic Think Tank also has a forum for that:

There are always cases that won't come up in an example (e.g. using a hero point to wash being stunned, surging to complete a full round action while staggered, etc).

Note that this is not the "ask the designer of the game" forum, just other players.

What exactly are you having problems with? Are you familiar with D&D/D20 combat rules?

I have a smaller list of fights narrated and explained at this link right here.

Thanks!

I think he does a good job of statting out characters at a PL usable within the system. A lot of people tend to make well-known and established characters a much highter PL than I think they should be (PL 18 Cyclops, PL 20 Wolverine, etc.etc.). I think it’s much more useful to have most supers get put into the 9-13 range, because it serves as a good guideline when you’re trying to do a similar concept yourself.
