You basically need an iron GM and very mature players or you'll end up with a lot of min-maxing in the character concepts. Certain powers (when I played, it was super-speed that seemed overpowered) are a lot better than other powers, and some powers work only if the GM allows them to.Combat seemed very swingy - a hit could bounce off your Pecs of Steel, doing nothing at all, but the next one from the same guy put you out cold. I prefer hit-points, for all their stupidity - I like having a bit of plot protection, and feeling like I'm actually getting somewhere in a fight each time I hit. Every super-power just seems to boil down to, "The baddie does something. Make a saving throw", with different types of power requiring a different save.I dislike mechanically homogenous attacks. I don't like that an energy beam, tank shell, dragon breath, or a million other attack types are all mechanically identical. I like that in D&D a guy with a sword is a bit different to a guy with an axe, who's a bit different from a guy with a polearm. I know there's attack descriptors like "maximum power" and all that, but it doesn't seem enough to differentiate when any power might have these descriptors regardless of its source.Glad to see people enjoying it, but I didn't think it was the game for me.</blockquote>
