Character Creation Handbook

[Zephrosyne]

I am seriously considering picking up this book but I want to be sure if it is what I am looking for. I do have roleplaying budget considerations. I have pdfs of all of the Ultimate Series books and I am wondering if any of the information from these books made it into the Character Creation Handbook. The things that I am most interested are additional Advantages and Limitations such as the variants for using other Characteristics to break out of Entangles (as per the Ultimate Mentalist), the extra description and detail given to some of the powers in the Ultimate books (e.g. mental transforms). Basically, was the extra crunch and detail that was added to powers in the Ultimate Series put into the Character Creation Handbook?

 

Thanks

I'm a bit curious about this too. I assume this is just the bare bones character creation rules rather than a full rules set. I imagine the purpose of this book is to provide a handy convenience rather than a source of rules and options one might research to make a specific character, so I don't expect any optional rules, or rules from any of the Ultimate series to be included.
