When some of you have made MnM characters, and played in MnM games, what proportion of your power points go towards your skills?  I think that this game should incorporate an optional rule limiting player's options in one way, yet expanding them in another... instead of giving just a whopping 150 points at PL 10, the character is given 120 points for abilities and powers, and 30 points for skills.  I think a PL 10 character should be very well skilled.  Any additional points from disadvantages goes towards the abilities and powers side.</blockquote>
