Echoes of the Multiverse

Having to spend usually 30-40 of them on defenses and even with the house rules of 3 sp per pp I end up having to scrimp on skills and attributes and get accused of power gaming. I find 180 to be a bare minimum for a decent PL 10 level build these days. 200 pp even better.

You're clearly overspending on Defenses then. I rarely find myself needing more than 15-20 Points and am often able to spend something in the 5-15 range.

The trick to making well-rounded characters within a 150 PP (or smaller) budget is to prioritize things into three categories: "Things My Character Will Do All The Time," "Things My Character Will Do Only Sometimes" and "Things My Character Can Do But Only Does Rarely." Write a quick list down on scrap paper, if it helps.

Everything filed under "Only Does Rarely" doesn't get any PP spent on it. These are the realms of Power Stunts. Sure, Superman can fly fast enough to break the time barrier and go hang out with the Legion of Superheroes. He doesn't do it except under very rare circumstance.

"Will Do Only Sometimes" are going to be put into Alternate Effect Arrays and/or be purchased at ranks that don't fulfill PL Caps. Superman will use his freeze breath sometimes, but its not his primary attack. So make it an AE of his Super-Strength and have it be a PL8 Effect instead of his PL10.

"Will Do All The Time," well, those are your Big Guns. That's where you focus your PP expenditures.

Don't want to derail the thread. Suffice to say you clearly have a different strategy than I do. Most of my ideas just conceptually take upwards of 100 PP to sketch them out. They do tend to be much more complex than the examples given in the book, which I find to be boring af.

PM me if you want to look at my builds. If you want you can try and rebuild them down to 150, but I can almost guarantee I won't want to play it at that level.

Well, you're not really. Not yet. Macyn also said he'll get a recruiting thread uponce he gets his details together. Can't even start recruiting until prospective players know what they are making submissions for.

Ok!

I've put up an Interest thread for a non-M&M game here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=902.

PC Pilots of giant mecha fighting kaiju from another world.

Im opening HU up for recruitment of 2-3 more players. if anyones interested love to hear from you.

I'm down a few MnM games so I have room for one more, though I tend to want more PP for my ideas. What PL/PP do we get to start at?

I think Heroes Unlimited filled their spots a while ago. However, we have four games recruiting right now, including:

• Absolute (Young) Justice on these boards at PL 10/150 PP
• An as-yet-unnamed Villain game at PL 7 / 135 PP and no powers at the start
• The Merge: Tales of London at PL 10 / 180 PP
• The Fall of Five Houses at PL 9 / 135 PP

Oh that's so weird! I see now that Catsi's post was from late July but for whatever reason it popped up in my user CP as an unread post even though I'd read it before. Huh.

I played in the merge London one but ultimately the game wasn't quite to my taste. Oh well.

Technically Heroes does have one spot open I was waiting to hear from someone but no reply to a PM so if anyone has a hero take a look in the thread and see if you wamt in group could use a dedicated blaster or Martial artist for what its worth

I’m recruiting for an M&M2e game. (Only time will tell, though, if it ever spreads wings to fly.)

I’m closing my recruitment thread. It got no interest.

I've ended the Team Cerberus game.

Hi! I'm not seeing any games currently in recruitment. Is that correct?
