I say ALL 'Powers' should be associated with a 'Rank'.....
One of my Characters was bitten by a Ware-Wolf with Vampirism..... At first I didn't want my Character to become a Ware-Wolf..... So I tried to break the 'Spell' arguing that Psyche and Endurance Combined and Averaged could break the Vampirism Spell.... Or a Magic trinket @ a certain Rank could purge

I like Punstarr's Dodge Revamp..... The only basic issue I seen was Low Agility being able to avoid really High Level attacks, or vice verse...... But the 'With in 3 Ranks' helps define the combat actions better....
At least that way a Character with EX:20 Agility is plausibly able to 'Dodge' an Attack of AM:50 contact skills and ability..... And RM:30 (Nearly Olympic

Yea, I totally agree.... But at the same time, I feed into his manipulation...... When he first wiped out my Team of 3 Characters.......... I was all "FUGGEN HELL NAW!!!!!!"
And I had to design 9 or 10 other full proof Characters.....

Now that I've read just about every post in this topic..... I have to say certain GMs really influence the Game.....
The GM who originally introduced me to MSH-RPG was pretty much 'Hell Bent' on proving his Cast of Characters were simply better than any Character anybody else could EVER create..... And it didn't make a bit of difference if you went strictly by the MSH books

Well Thanx Punstarr, I'm flattered (LOL) ..... I dunno how to respond....
But this is 'WHY'
The table I played was basically seven guys who were semi intelligent in Science Fields.... Not Einstein, but we did pretty good in Science, Shop, Sports... etc... And MSH was actually another way of ingraining Critical Thought into our Heads......

I've had some of my 'BEST' games with lower-end Characters.... HP and Karma each below 150 to 200, and Powers capped off at MN:75 or so....... Basically, the X-Men, Bat-Man, Cap'n'America...... etc..
Characters in this 'Power' Range are closer to our human perceptions.... Even in most Video Games your Character has 100 HP to represent 100%.......... You pick

I'm glad you like the whole idea.... It was much easier on the game mechanics to simply use 10 Foot increments, especially for 'People' type Characters...... But it also worked for Vehicles and Four legged creatures as well.
For traveling by 'Miles Per Hour' the conversation was a little convoluted.....

Has anyone here ever seen this Power Ranking system???....
I seen it back in the early 90's... It may not be the exact same that Marvel Published, b/c I didn't buy the particular Guide Book at that time....
But I did like this system better since it filled in a lot of gaps......

It sounds like Regeneration was a simple idea that was made overly complicated... I'd go with the Simple Form......
'Drop the Zero from the Endurance tells you how much HP regenerates per round'
Beyonder's explanation sounds way too fast even if it's only used during Critical Situations.... But it also sounds like an 'Automatic' action... (No FEAT require

I'm gonna be 40ish soon..... Not to blurt away my age.... But I absolutely hate the lost Energy and Conditioning I once had during my 20's and even my early 30's was kinda decent.........

Cap'n'America -=VS=- Bat-Man..
The first Combat encounter between these two would probably involve a very fierce hand to hand battle..... And while Bat-Man relies upon cunning Ninja Skills and bladed weapons..... I see Cap'n'America using his UFC / Pride Fighter / Olympic Athlete skills to disarm most of Bat-Man's tricks....

Thanks Punstarr......
That's actually a simple mechanic to the game.... Now you can simply list 'Regeneration' in your Character's power listing...... And further define his Regen 'IF' it is stronger than his Endurance Rank.
+ RM:30 Endurance and Character has Regeneration as a 'Power'
+ The Character Heals 30 points of HP every minute (10 Rounds)

Regeneration Questions:::
It's been a few years since I've really sat down and played MSH..... I was going through some of the Character Profiles on this site, mainly the X-men, and it appears these characters have changed quite a bit.....
So I need to be refreshed.....
I remember Wolverine and Saber-Tooth having UN:100 Cellular Regeneration..... Now, they have AM:50 Regenera

I fully agree the Martial Arts Rules are simply another means of squeezing 'Plus Shifts' out of your Character..... Which is just "silly-sauce"
But the guys I play are not too anal retentive about all that non-sense...... If a player is hell bent on using all those Plus Shifts and Bonuses and Extra Calculations we just tell him "DOOD, Just raise the Guy's Crap to

Wolverine -=VS=- Bat-Man.........
Naw, Bat-Man would be really messed up..... And he'd crawl or limp home and decide to simply be Bruce Wayne the horribly disfigured millionaire....... Or (Maybe, but unlikely) Bat-Man's Psyche would get all twisted and he'd 'Remodel' the Bat Motif to the Lil'Fuzzy Bear Motif......

I choose those particular match ups because I don't know which one to put the money on.......
Wolverine -=VS=- Bat-Man........
I see Bat-Man winning that one...... A vale of acid, or a flame thrower, maybe frozen solid, or just tied up with Bat-Man's ripped off Cape; pinned to a jerry-rigged magnet of some sort......... Not Dead.... But out of commission.

I'd say Silver Surfer wins this Fight; hands down...........

Hyper-Speed and Time Dilation are heavily involved in a study of Physics I have very little knowledge in......

I have a question though.....
Why would a Character who has Hyper Speed or Time Dilation Powers even need to FEAT roll for Hand to Hand Combat Actions????
These types powers render "Fighting" Experience and Martial Arts Education as totally obsolete...........
