[QUOTE="Phoenix8008, post: 2073469, member: 211"] Hello again all. Thought I'd say a few words and pass on an idea I just had after reading the last couple posts. I have always liked the type of open-ended system KDLadage is describing. That's why I liked YBA so much. I've said this before of course and I understand the reasons given for why it doesn't work well. Heck, in YBA I min-maxed my character all to heck and back to squeeze every last drop of power out of it. But what if there was a way to prevent that but still allow the open-ended choice? What if the powers that could be abused by putting them together were on a list that you couldn't choose from more than once or maybe twice. Or limit it by the point value of the power if you use KD's earlier example. Maybe you can only have 2 powers of any point value. You get where I'm going here. You have choices and options but there are limits to keep it from being abused. Or even easier, if there were limits on how many powers you could use in any given round, then you could have all the powers you want but not be able to do the massive 4-5 power combo like Sollir described. How about that solution? If nothing else, maybe there could be a path that set alongside the current 5 that does get to pick it's powers from a list with some restrictions like discussed above? Anyway, just thought I'd add to the discussion. Make of it what you will. [/QUOTE]
