[BNW] Power groups....

[Prince Nightchilde <nghtchld@applink.net>]

Just to toss my two cents into this hotly debated topic.....

I can see the point of power packages.  I can see the point of not
having power packages.

What I would suggest is maybe a kind of compromise.

Perhaps you have, let's say, the Brick Power Package (and this is a
BUNCH of conjecture on my part...)

The "basic" Brick Power Package may include:
Superhuman strength
Superhuman toughness
Invulnerable to disease
Increased Mass

Maybe you could replace some of the powers with a different power...such
as taking..I dunno..Immoveable instead of Invulnerable to disease.

You get my idea, yes?

It might add a bit of complexity to the game, but each power could
belong to one or more "groups" and you could switch those powers around
depending on what type of "groups" your character could take.

I, personally, don't like the "You have this power type and these are
the ONLY powers you can have" idea either.

Also, an Edge/Merit/whatever to allow you to take a power "outside" of
your "normal" type might be pretty cool, too.
