Those guidelines attached to that link worked plenty good for me.I used power level 3, as i wanted them to be inexperienced, but worth their salt. PL 1 or 2 is just to darned weak though. The higher PL's (10+) in M&M are way more powerful, so you have to be careful to stay within the realms of playability, if you are concerned with such things. One level in M&M is a much bigger deal than 1 level in D&D! If you want your players to be major heavyweights, like Titans or Demi-gods, then its easy as pie to use the system without any restraints.Yep i used powers for racial abilities (Dwarf's got Super Con +1, Elves S-Dex +1, some races got darkvision, etc), that way they had inherent bonuses, even if they had low regular stats. I had one half-elf/half-drow (a Bluffside race) that had Obscure (natural power for the character as they cast Darkness) and Incorporeal (a magical ability he developed) and 1 rank of the Sorcery power. The sorcery power goes a real long way in modeling D&D magic, IMO. So that wasn't so hard a hurdle, afterall.</blockquote>
