[BNW] Power Packages (was Dissatifaction & Limits)

[John Higginbotham <jahiggin@orion.starlink.com>]

	Greetings all!
	I've finished reading the two main books thus far and I've got a
couple of observations to contribute to the ongoing conversation.
	First up, I have to contest the statement that there are only 20
power packages in the two books. (No, I'm not putting my nose in the air,
I've got a point.) I've found 22. 
	The twenty-first package is Truth's delta ability. She may not be
the only one out there with it, and she has said that some delta abilities
don't seem all that spectacular. So, it should be perfectly acceptable for
a PC hero to have that as a power package. Of course, that leads me to the
question 'What kind of tricks would that power package have?'
	The twenty-second package is hidden in the guide section of the
main book on page 214. No, it's not spelled out as a standard package, but
it would be very easy to extrapolate it. (And from the description given,
it wouldn't be that much of a secret. I was hoping for more info on it in
RP, but it looks like they just didn't have space.)
	Anyway, now that I've gotten that bit of silliness out of my
system, it sounds to me as if sidhain is trying to stay within the
established setting of the game. And, granted, the guidelines for that are
pretty loose. With a game that's been going for a while, it's possible to
extrapolate from what's come before. So, with a new game it's a bit
difficult and it's usually uncharted territory. In a way, I understand
where you're coming from.
	Honestly, I was a little dismayed at how few powers there were at
first as well. For the moment, we've got to play things a little fast and
loose to see where Matt is going with the game. As the first few books
come out, we'll see more and more of what they consider normal for BNW.
And, if it contradicts something you want in your story, well, there's
always an exception to every rule.
	In the meantime, has anyone else been pondering what other tricks
can be developed for the existing powers? I've been cooking up a few in my
own twisted imagination, and from things I recall from comics. I'll post
them a little later.
