That could make some things even more wonky.If you feel that giving players a cost break to stay within concept is what you need, then TheWyrd’s idea is probably a good place to start.Legend:Legend is a limiting factor much like PL and legend points function much as hero points do.To build a Legend power I’d start with Enhanced Luck and give it a flaw since using any of the hero points the power provides would prompt a fatebinding save. That flaw could be -1 or -2 depending on how badly you intend to hammer the players with fatebinding.  With that Legend would provide 2 or 3 hero points per rank.For boons that require legend to use I’d purchase them with a -1 flaw that they require a hero point to activate. Functionally this is almost identical to the Tiring flaw, but without the Extra Effort intermediary step.  I think I’ve seen a Requires Hero Point flaw used somewhere, but I can’t recall right off hand where.I’d limit the ranks of Legend a character could purchase by PL-5. This would set the starting level at PL7.Fatebinding:I’d make this a save every time you used a hero point provided by the Legend power. I’d set the DC at 10+Legend Rank if you go with the -1 flaw and 15+Legend Rank if you decide on the -2 flaw. I’d increase the strength of the resultant fate binding for every 5 you miss the save.  The save would be a base ability roll not including the enhanced ability. I’m not really sure which one is appropriate though. If you want a to use a regular save, such as a will save, I’d use 15+Legend Rank as the DC, but only build the Legend power with a -1 flaw.You’ve got me there.That’s exactly how I’d handle it.  I’d fiddle with the M&M mechanic as little as I could while still covering Scion’s themes and feel.</blockquote>
