Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...
In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[

for instance, you don't take the 1 major/1 minor ability and roll on the chart and get 3 minors but need to roll up 3 random minor abilities. in the Heroes book, and in Aliens unlimited, there are charts to roll up random abilities.

I'm looking for something that includes the powers from Powers Unlimited.

and this is for Heroes Unlimited Revised edition, not 2nd edition if that makes a difference. I don't know how the 2nd edition rolls up powers.


just pick three. that's WAY better than random. lets you make the PC you want.

some people like the challenge of playing someone with a jumbled mess of abilities. and it helps even people who pick powers to jump start their imagination. or just to help decide on something. there's so many different things to do. one roll for a major or couple minor powers can give you something to go on.

eeeehhhhh. . .I suppose I can understand how some people would find that entertaing.

personally, I can't stand it. if I don't already have a concept in mind, then I usually find getting into the characters head impossible.
