- If you follow these character creation ‘rules’ you will get a good superhero character. These rules, however, are only for people who don’t already know what kind of hero they want to play. If you know what you want, you can create your character without rolling any dice at all, simply by writing down your abilities, powers, and background.
- Optional Rules
- Use the optional rules that you wish to use or that your Editor requires you to use.
