Two Feet per PE point after all the bonuses are totted up in char creation.

Since the Growing does not affect the PE of the char, there is no 'additional' PE bonuses to be added to the PE score if the char "grows big".

Edit: The Mega Hero +50% is only effect SDC and Range. So.....the while the Growing rate would not get any bonus, the SDC gained from the growing would get +50%.


So it would stay at 2 feet per PE point, but the SDC per extra foot will be +30 SDC.

GM's call. I would be fine with saying that the +50% bonus to super powers gives you extra size, but that's not canon.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Here is something to mess with your mind...
Take that Mega-Hero + 50% bonus to range and apply to EVERYTHING... Mutant with EO Speed.. Your speed "range" is 200mph +20mph per level? Now it is 300mph +30mph per level!

Energy Expulsion damage "range" is 6D6 [or 6 - 36]?? Now it is 9D6

Obviously, this is a house rule and not official.

The Range of the power is "Self". *points out*.

So is "Other By touch" +50% of a "self" range? *rhetorical*

No 150% of 0 is still 0

I'd agree to that sort of house rule (not in my games though.

Ah, but is self really a range of zero? If we use the human brain as a fixed point of origin, if it affects your feet, that range is actually your height.

If we look at the ectoplasmic arms the human mutants in TTMNT had, the advanced version had 'double' the range of normal, which was 6ft, because normal arms were 3ft long... which seemed kinda large for human arms, personally, but whatevs.
