I'm not expecting Steve to answer my speculations, but he can feel free to laugh and point, if he wishes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />This is a great change, even though it means that gauging the power level of heroes gets harder in published adventures. I'm familiar with GURPS, and trying to decide how powerful a given NPC is in that game takes a LOT of familiarity with the system.On the positive side, it means that characters can be more well rounded than before; I've often felt that 150 points as a basis just wasn't a lot of points, leaving me with some unrounded characters, and also starting a character at PL 5 or below felt almost undoable, unless I wanted a very gritty game.Don't know how I feel about this. It seems wrong in one sense, but on the other side, this gives the overall system some interesting flexibility towards other genres besides superhero.About Freakin' Time! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Serious, glad to see it's the default rule now, making Batman-types more frequent. If it were the true equal to skill focus and talented, wouldn't it be PL +8 per level?Also good, and something I've been crying for with regular d20 as well, more so lately.Glad to see it: Heck, I wish this made it into D&D.Good one, again. It seems like the choices are geared toward having NON-PL10 games, allowing PL5 or even PL1 games as viable long-term games, which I like. Sometimes you don't want to be the Justice League; sometimes you want to be Marv from Sin City.Not sure how I feel. I suppose it's more sensible, but I'll wait and see. This DOES mean the system can more easily take in feats from other products.I could quote Team America's theme song refrain but I'll leave that to the imagination. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So does this mean that poiwer stunts are just renamed, or does this mean that they are now  powers costing 1 point per rank?Awesome. Nice curbing, and nice added variety.Why not just say "add +10 to your roll by spending a hero point, max of 20?" It would seem to have almost the same effect, minus the extra dice complexity.I like it, rather than starting with 5 HP's,Overall, I like it!</blockquote>
