To select more then one power cat is non-canon. So I only make chars with one power cat.

To be making a char with more then one power cat would be following the advice of Peter Ferkelberger.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

I never said that.

I said What number of abilities from a (1)Power catagory would you pic?
On top of the Minor or Major powers.

I do random rolls so do not customize numbers of powers.
Also, not every category comes with powers or mega-abilities.
I would also like to say politely that these questions are a bit tiresome, gaby.

errr.... having hero powers is one power cat, even if just skip over everything else so have the powers w/o looking u... weird like mutants.

It's not like the rules say you stack hero powers on top of super solder, or special training, or hardwere or etc..
Otherwise you might end up with a char with double the powers.

I like characters from the following catgories for a reason.
BIONICS - No random Roll powers. I select everything.
ROBOTICS - No random roll powers. I select everything.
EUGENICS - No random roll powers. I select everything.
SUPER-Soldier - I select either Brain, Chemical, or Endoskeletal every time.

I dislike random rolling my characters abilities.

i like to painstakingly tailor make each of my characters. random rolls could be fun too i guess, but i've played rarely enough that i like to make the perfect character for each game.

@Gaby: I am, in a polite way, in agreement with SG. Might I ask why you ask these questions/start these topics? Is it just a mere interest in what others think?

As far as character creation, it really depends on my mood. Sometimes I like randomness. And at others I have a specific type or theme in mind and just do it. Oh, and I don't do megas. Like Iczer, I'm allergic to power creep.


@greenclowd99: Saw your question in multiple threads out here, including a thread of your own that you created. It's not really necessary to hijack multiple threads to get your question answered.

SS look at the post time stamps.

It was greenclown's post necromancy that be the source of your annoyance.
