• Mutants And Masterminds Effects

Chapter 2 posted by tofuwizard Original SA post. Mutants and Masterminds 3e - Chapter 2 This chapter lays out the basic framework of how characters are created. As it is a point-buy based system the number of power points (PP) used to purchase stuff needs to be determined. To recover from damage, roll your Con modifier against DC 10, every hour of rest. The threshold of the roll is healed from your Survival track. 4 pin fan connector. The Regeneration power affects this as per the old healing rules. Every eight hours of rest, regardless of rolls, heal your PL off the Survival Track.Powers that cause damage have a base DC of 20+power rank. Sep 12, 2010  Table 1-2 shows what different things cost. Ability cores cost 1 per point, Attack bonus 3 per +1, Defence 2 per +1 and so on. I also have to remember, that those Power points are used also to buy Power ranks (super powers I quess) and Feats. But you can get points from weaknesses, 10 per one.

We have finally played our first session in Mutants and Masterminds 3e, a premade module that at the end of it, offered to each of my players 3 Power Points to spend and power up their characters. My question is about the manner that they are going to spend these points:Can they spend one point to add a power to a premade Array of Powers, or is this only available in the character creation step? (The 1 point cost for adding a new Alternate Power to an array).If the answer is that they cannot add a new effect to a premade array, do they have to spend full cost on the new power? Spending points after character creation works in the same way as during character creation. From the 'Hero Advancement & Improvement' section (emphasis mine):Players spend power points on new or improved traits for their heroes just the same as spending them to create a hero.

So if your hero has a power costing 2 points per rank, and you want to improve it by 1 rank, spend 2 of your earned power points to do so.This means they can naturally spend 1 point to add a new power to an array as usual. It certainly is possible to spend new points to further expand an array. M&M doesn't have a mechanic of preventing players from spending points a certain way outside of character creation.What is necessary though, is GM oversight with regard to the type of power that is added to the array, especially to avoid serious min-maxing.

The new power really ought to be something that makes sense as an alternate use of the same ability.Make sure to note that there is an action economy to switching around power arrays. As well, changing the active power undoes any current effects. If you have an affliction as part of an array, switching from the affliction causes the target to cease suffering from it.It can get a bit tricky, especially with concepts like magic ('All my spells are just Alternate Powers GM!' Followed by a 200 point power that represents total mastery over existence).
