Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 379556" data-attributes="member: 63">Four-Color to Fantasy basically uses core D&D rules except for the few things that need to be added to a superhero game.  We add a system for balancing super powers with the core classes, and provide rules for using huge objects as weapons, maneuvering at high speeds, etc.But the class-level system is practically the same; we just added two new classes.  The Hero provides super powers the same way a sorcerer provides spells.  The Specialist covers all the generic characters who just have skills and knowledge, not fighting ability or super powers.  You can still use CR to determine how difficult an encounter will be.And here's my main rant.  Yes, technically, a lot of super-powered characters from comics wield powers that go beyond the scope of 20th level.  But you don't need to.  The feel of the game will be the same pretty much regardless of what level you make all the characters, as long as you run the game well.Fr'instance, say you want to make the Justic League, and you decide to play with the characters being 10th level (technically, even Hawkman is probably at least 20th level, and Supes is easily 50th or higher).  You could slightly tone down their powers, and slightly tone down their villains, but it would be just as easy to create the sense of these guys being the main movers and shakers in the world of superheroes.What I'm saying is that you don't have to really give your characters the ability to pick up skyscrapers to make them feel as if they're superheroes.  I would be perfectly fine with never going past 20th-level.</blockquote>
