Powers VS Ultimate Books


Sicarius

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have Champions Powers and Martial Arts 6th Ed.  Is there any reason to get Ultimate Brick, Mentalist, Mystic, Ninja, Energy Projector, Speedster, Metamorph or any others I might have missed or does Champions Powers and Martial Arts combine all these under two hoods?  I know the Ultimate series is 5th Ed but I also know conversion is relatively easy.

I am a bit of a collector and have 4th,5th, and 6th edition stuff but....sometimes I look for justification to spend the $ and find room on the shelves.

Thanks,

Mike

The Ultimate books are deep dives into their various topics.  If you are just looking for some power builds you are probably fine with what you have, but the Ultimate books are going to go into a lot more depth/detail on how the archetypes work in various genres and how to really play around with their subject matter in a specific game.

There is a decent overlap between Ultimate Martial Artist and Martial Arts 6th ed, but the UMA has a lot more genre stuff.  On the other hand Champions Powers has a few pages on Brick Tricks (for example) and the Ultimate Brick spends several chapters on the subject.

Its really a question of how much depth you want.
