That said, the system is an absolute blast and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Further, if even ONE of these versions of himself survive.say, a nuclear explosion.then he can reform and regenerate himself in a matter of hours. When Hivemind is attacked in combat he can instantly split into ten million smaller (bacteria-sized) versions of himself that enter the attacker's bloodstream and all make simultaneous sneak attacks. Entire categories of powers are unbalanced with other powers - any system where Time Travel costs and much as a fuzzy tail will have such problems.įor instance, I could make a PL5 villain (or character, even) named Hivemind. The only one that jumps to my head immediately is Multiplicity or the Minion summoning powers, which, if you put enough points into them, you can summon a million identical copies of yourself or a million minions in a single action.Īlso, there are a lot of ways to save points with Power Drawbacks on container powers like Alternate form (build He-Man and you'll see what I mean, I have the power indeed!)Īs the others above me have so insistently.insisted, MnM is one of the most easily broken game systems out there and your friend is wrong. What's more, the broken powers usually have a sidebar that says, 'This power is pretty broken if you take it to an extreme, don't do that.' That is to say, there's no systemic incentive to turn the game into a circus. It's not one of those systems where half the people are one-eyed and purple so they can get the extra points to afford a horn, flight and people-eating while the more normal PCs are mechanically less effective. He is convinced that it is ultra-balanced and nigh-impossible to make a character that is to another character, as a wizard is to a fighter in 3.5.HAHAHAHA! Oh, that's a good one. So, one of my friends is all in love with M&M. What they do is character accuracy, trying to recreate a character or build their original to embody their ideas as closely as possible. It's telling that the official M&M board doesn't really do character optimization. But you'll never get to use that character. You want to break M&M by RAW? Blast (extra: Standard Action -> Free Action). The 'caps' system levels the playing field a lot, but all in all it's designed for a great deal of cooperation between GM and player. The thing is, it's designed so it can make anything, which comes at the cost of some balance.

Who, and Jean Luc Picard and have crazy adventures!'Exactly this. 'Hmm, if I shift nine points into improved grapple I can optimize close combat at the expense of ranged which I'll cover by spending one point on a gun netting me a ten point profit over simply buying the Army Guy perk.' That said, the game isn't designed to be 'balanced' it is designed to be a superhero simulator when you're building your character you're meant less to be thinking
