My point was that, even with magic powers, their extreme fragility in B/X means they don't play like superheroes. I'm no comic expert, but what superhero would you stat up with 28 hit points at max level? Maybe Charles Xavier...he kinda got one-shot in that prequel movie. On a ricochet, even. Maybe they were playing Rolemaster.I've been playing and running it for 37 years, despite my lack of understanding. I even created a couple ENnie Gold-winning settings for it. So there must be something about it I like. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />For about 20 of those years, characters had fewer superpowers and felt less like superheroes. This is the point I've been attempting to make. I also prefer that older style of play, but that's just a subjective preference and there's no particular reason you should care. (One of those ENnie Gold-winning settings turned the superpowers up to 11, so my preferences aren't even exclusive. I've got some range, dude!)</blockquote>
