Dan,

Since you've implemented the "Genre Book Selection" thingy, I was wondering if it would be possible to have the NCM options included as well.

As you know, the normal NCM caps out @ 20. I believe, in the Champions Genre book, it gives a chart that basically places the cap at 30 (and then the doubling begins).

Could you put that in there or is it basically something we should just make custom templates for?

Thanks!

What's listed in Champions are not hard levels or rules....they're just suggestions on how you can alter NCM to fit the feel of your campaign. The general phrasing used is:<blockquote>For example, to achieve greater "realism", you might make 15 the threshold at which Characteristic costs start to double.</blockquote>

There are no hard limits or even "formal suggestions". Just ideas on how you can customize things for your campaign -- which is pretty much the point behind custom templates.

Ah, ok. For some strange reason I thought they were hard and fast rules. :) In any case, thanks for taking the time to respond. Appreciate it.

If you want to use a variant NCM for HD, there is a tool provided here:
