[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 2093468, member: 4275"] The Protection power and disadvantages. The way protection works makes the penetrating attack feat a must for any character built around an energy blast. Example: Two Bricks with Protection and Super Strength matched square off. This is a pretty equal fight, although it has the potential to last forever. However a Brick with Protection maxed will always be invunerable against a Blaster of his PL unless that Blaster has Penetrating Attack. If I am wrong about this, please point it out, as I am somewhat a noob with M&M (though I'm pretty good at grokking game systems). And I *DO* see this as a problem with the game, not just a problem with a point-based system. It doesnt mean the game isn't great. The FASERIP Marvel had this problem, and Id rate it as one of the best games I ever ran. But it is a problem. Disads is the usual.
