That is a good point I suppose

I guess I am just not sure about the whole ' spend the money to make the math a little easier. ( Just yet.) Though on the Setting route: I know my Companions ( which are can be encapsulated by Followers & Summons), most would probably be followers.

Thanks. I am struggling to make good on the idea. By Parsing I just mean trying to get my mind how to lay out and build, stats, powers ect. I've read the book and fractions scare me. especially in gaming, mostly because then you really need to make sure your math is right. For me its just making sure I an understand how the system works ( since I don't have a lot of knowledge on taking apart a system or understand it ( and yes withh that knowledge I went to HERO System because my ideas are overly complicated and sometimes don't fit into other system boxes.

So I've started working on a setting[ url= https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kdxN5XeeXPG7lsvxfTFgQ98WIfFx1Dq7t3oqf7wP_tg/edit?usp=sharing] Unified: A Setting of Ladies & Lords [/url]. And I am still trying to parse HERO System. What do you all think? Mostly because I am hunting fo a system that can candle what I've created, but is something I can understand. It's probably more Sci-fi & Fantasy (maybe more Sci-Fantasy. As I work on it, I wanted to drive and draw things together. Artifacts, Legacys, and Contracts should mean something. Not just be tropes. Summons/ Companions- are basically characters in their own right in some respects. So what do you all think could it work? Or am I better off using another system? Or should I pick up a copy of Champions?

I think the thing you need to keep in mind, with Avatar, unless you are building a VERY alternative universe( as I do). Is that you want to focus on the powers they come in a bout two shades: Blast, Surround, Entrap, but have kind as someone else '1 off powers', or subset powers: Healing for Water benders- who can Blood Bend (whether its a bloodline, or a particular subset both series aren't clear: Katara LEARNED to do it, but in Korra its covered as it seemes to be somewhat genetic (atleast being able to do it at will without the full moon). Lighting Bending for Fire Benders... seems to be more practice.. and ability to convert. But Earth Benders have two subset : Lava & Metal, both of which seem to have a kind of 'talent' component. Airbenders- Seem to get sprituality/awarenes. ( Aaang 's energy bending seems to be a Gift from the Lion Turtle, and we've never actually seen Korra do it, though she should know how- because she was Aang's life at somepoint. Now Chi-Blocking that seems to be another thing all together... It seems to be more skill than an ability, so maybe a Talent."
