Character Creation
This is a superheroic campaign. As such, characters do not have Characteristic Maxima unless they take the Disadvantage Normal Characteristic Maxima. They must spend character points for any equipment they regularly use.
The Approved Ranges in the campaign infobox are guidelines, not absolutes. Characters may fall outside these ranges and still be approved by a panel of all the players.
Characters are required to take at least one Disadvantage worth at least 20 Points.
Optional Rules
The Hit Location and Knockback optional rules are in effect. This campaign does not use the optional Wounding, Bleeding, Impairing, Disabling or Knockdown rules. Pushing follows the usual rules for superheroic campaigns.
