Re: Ok I'm confused.... Thanks for the replies! Had not thought of the multiform or the OIHID options! I love the ship reference, makes perfect sense for the multipower structure... confirms how i thought they worked, though I'm still not sure how persistent powers would work for other applications of multipower, beginning to realize that you probably can't really use them in it, its designed for more of a "Spell book" type feel to it. Any suggestions to hero creators other than the one on the Hero site by chance? As to the math... thats interesting, i would have never divided it... i'd have just multiplied it by .75 that makes sense now! Thanks for the input :-)

Re: Ok I'm confused.... Thanks, both. I had not thought about the OIHID, or the multiform for using with the Were's. I love the analogy of the Enterprise, thats fantastic, and makes perfect sense! This may be verboten to ask on the dev's website, but are there any free creators? 30 bucks for the hero creator when I've already bought books is kinda not what i'm looking for Thanks for the input

So I'm new to the champions/heroes system. I've spend the last 2 weeks at work reading through the 5E book, and I've grasped most of it. It's a very cool system, very customizable. I've ran into a few confusing things however, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched the forums for what I could and cleared up some issues but the following 2 elude me. First off is with the Power Frameworks. I've finally grasped how the point costs of everything is added up(i'm not a math guy and I can be dense sometimes) My confusing regarding Frameworks is how persistent powers work... I'm trying to create a Shifter(Were Tiger) So out of his battle form, he's still got a high level of strength so i bought that as flat character points, however when he shifts into his battle form, he gains another chunk of strength... lets say 20 more strength for example. So if i have a multipower framework with a 60 point reserve, and i've purchased the 20 points of strength, does that mean that i'll always be limited to 40 points for other powers? Same with Damage Resistance or Damage Reduction, are these powers a constant drain on the Multipower point reserve? Or are they temporary, only to have when he decides to be more durable, or stronger (which does not make sense logically) The other thing thats got me confused is Calculating advantages and limitations... I'm looking at the chart provided in the book and i'm confused. Adding 1/4 to 100 = 125. Makes sense, one fourth of one hundred being 25. however -1/4 of 100 = 80. As i mentioned before i'm not a real big math guy but ... what? Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
