2 base questions

[Colossus]

First questionI have a habit of allow players who create a detailed background to generate some “free team points” that may be used for bases or vehicles. I think this does two things. First it helps a party generate “background” that is often ignored. Secondly, it helps the team pay for a base that they would most likely not be able to afford point wise. What do people think about this.

Secondly question. I’ve gut a generic hero team and need to create a base for them fact (NPC’s) are there any web resources that people have done up for this I can steal.

2nd point) I don't have anything for you on this one.

I've known several GMs who allow their players to have free points for bases and vehicles. I'd charge the players for any future "upgrades" beyond the basic resources that you gave them to start with, though; otherwise the players may not appreciate what they're getting.

I don't know of any free web resources, but the Champions genre book has several sample hero bases and vehicles of different types already statted out. Probably couldn't find that for free, though, although it is a good buy.
