One thing to remember is that "Package Deals" are basically just a suggested guideline of the types of skills/abilities a specific type of character might take in many situations. In others (most notably in Racial Package Deals) they may be more mandatory but at the end of the day they are still just a list of powers and abilities you HAVE to buy in that case.

 

So if you want to create package deals for your games its as easy as writing up a list of SUGGESTED or MANDATORY abilities and pointing them out so that your player characters have a quick "cheat sheet" method of spending some of their points.

 

In most cases the "Deal" part of package Deals is a misnomer as they don't change the cost of the abilities or make them any cheaper (although in some cases the costs may be offset by Disadvantages). Of course it is up to you if you want Package Deals to be cheaper or not, but generally in HERO published materials they aren't.

Disadvantages don't actually offset the cost, they just count towards your total Disads/Complications.

That's part of why in 6E they started using the phrase Template instead of Package Deal, people kept misinterpreting it tegardless of how many times it was soelled out.
