Is that predetermined by the GM, or just a judgment on the spot?  I wouldn't want a consequence for every action/decision the players make.  That's good sometimes, but a trip to granny's house shouldn't always lead to a wolf having eaten/replaced her.  I know some argue "if it doesn't lead to drama/action, then what's the point", but I like a mix.I've not played any supers RPG either, so maybe that's another option.  Thanks.</blockquote>
