[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 690647, member: 2"] A few observations and stupid questions, as I build Mutants & Mastermind characters. - Lets say you want to purchase the Weapon +10 power, with the device flaw. Can you give this weapon (lets say it's a high-tech boomerang) something like just +1 power level of the snare power, or does it also have to be +10? How many PP would this end up costing? - It seems to me that at any given power level, energy blast attacks (which max out at your PL, or usually +10) can always do a whole lot less damage than melee attacks, as melee attacks can use powers which stack with one another. Thus, for heroes of the same power level, Blasty McBlaster would max out at +10 dmg (energy blast +10), while Hitty McHithit could max out at +25 or so (+5 strength, +10 superstrength, +10 strike.) Am I missing something? This seems wrong to me. - Is it just me, or on the pre-gen PC templates in the front does it not say anywhere how much damage these guys do with an attack? - Am I correct that the Damage Save is the most important stat in the game?
