[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 363718, member: 63"] I think what Horacio meant was that he doesn't like delineating different types of superheroes into different classes. It's easier to have one flexible class instead of 15 small archetypes. Imagine if D&D had the "Fireball Sorcerer," "Polymorph-Curse Mage," and thirteen other varieties of the sorcerer class. It's a lot easier to just have one class to cover all the bases. Indeed, in FCTF we also have optional rules that let you gain powers without actually having to take the Hero class. You basically devote XP to gaining Hero Points (and your total XP still determines your effective character level). The result is basically the same as if you took levels of the Hero class, but if you prefer not to use teh term 'class', you don't have to. By the way, Horacio, keep writing that storyhour! :) It's a really fun read. [/QUOTE]
