Re: Need a name for a windy character How about Gust? That's the name I gave my wind powered character.

Re: 250 character points vs 350 character points Maybe I will just split it down the middle and go with 300. The skills comment is correct. Many of my 250 point build characters are pretty skills-lite.

Hi all. I'm coming back from a decade long hiatus from Champions. I've tried to search through the forums, but couldn't find an answer to this one. I'm simply wondering why the suggested point cost for a superhero has gone from 250 (4th edition) to 350 (5th edition)? It does not seem like power costs have changed much (I noticed drain increased and flash decreased). So is it just a different philosophy in creation, or is there a reason I am missing? I wanted to run my campaign on 250 points, since all of the characters I currently have created (over 100) are based on that 4th edition number. Now that my current players see that 250 is suggested for Low-Powered supers, they don't feel it fits my campaign concept of Avengers/Justice League like heroes. Any feedback on why the extra 100 points in 5th would be greatly appreciated.
