[QUOTE="Valiantheart, post: 1761753, member: 10165"] Some advice: Use the 3:1 skill to pp ratio otherwise making skill based characters (i.e. batman types) is really hard. Beware of using really high protection powers for your villains. Power Attack and All Out Attack are great feats for virtually any blaster. They mitigate melees natural advantage in the damage department. Be very wary of the Ramming rules. They are extremely exploitable for any character who has any type of protection based power. Consider making them less accurate or cause the rammer to lose his dodge bonus (like charge but more). Some powers are exploitable with only one rank like incorporeal and invisibility. Consider requiring a minimum number of ranks before characters can use those powers. Constitution Drains are extremely lethal and should be used with caution. Many characters coming from D&D still have a kill the villain and collect the loot mentality. Its important to remind them they are the "hero"s but still subject to public opinion and basic laws. They shouldnt be killing villains willy nilly on the streets in full view of the public/press/police. Villains are supposed to survive as odd as that may sound. [/QUOTE]
