Most characters will be built on 400-500 points depending on points depending on efficiency. I'm expecting fairly balanced characters that are able to operate in a team environment.

Aliens are not known to exist, but there are rumors that during WWII there was a secret war between several races of aliens.

For mentalists, see warning further down

The team will be based in Portland.

Bricks: Typically be 60-75 STR with 30-40 def.

Martial artists: 6-8 speed, mid teens CVs, ~20 def

EB: 12-15d6, more freedom of movement, high defs, but lower stats on average

• Range mods: -1/3" (3rd edition style)
• Recoveries: Take the entire phase, and you get your recovery at the beginning of your next phase.
• Dive for Cover
  Character is up after dive if second Dex roll is made at same minuses. If character has Acrobatics or Breakfall, no minuses to second roll.
  Multiple dive for cover (Additional -2 like blocking)
  Walk for Cover - If delayed, dex roll is made and then player can choose how far to go. (First one only though). No roll to see if on feet needed.
• Killing attacks 3x stun mod only
• I may use Hit locations to further modify both Normal and Killing attacks after defense. (So if 10 stun got through to the head location, you'd take 20 stun.) It's 20 points to have no locations.
• Unstun - 1/2 phase and NC maneuver (usually stand up)
  If you are stunned and on the segment you are to be unstunned and you take additional stun to be stunned, you don't get unstunned.
• Breakfall - If knocked into an object, can still make BF roll to land on feet. Does not modify damage taken from being knocked into object. Minuses to roll are based on how far you would of gone.
• Flight - Multiple turns over 5 allowed.
• Damage Reduction:
  Works fine vs. penetrating damage.
  7/8 Damage Reduction - 60/90 points
  15/16 Damage Reduction - 80/120 points
  100% - 150 points; no non-resistant option
  Instead of vs. ED or PD, Special Effect can be stated. Most would include a limitation as well.
• Penetrating : +1/2 for normal penetrating attacks.
  Killing attacks treated differently. The amount of body done by a killing attack is still what one uses to determine minimum STUN.
  An 3d6 KA rolls [5,6,3], you would do a minimum of 14 STUN.
  For a +1 advantage, the KA would do a minimum of 4 body, 12 STUN.
• Piercing: 2 nrml, 3 res
• Hardened protects vs. AP, Penetrating, and Piercing.
  Each level takes off one of each.
• Two levels AP style attacks, max.
• Regeneration
  5 pnts/char pnt per turn +2 advantage for same special effect OK, but Stun or End can not be combined with anything else or each other.
  +10 points - Regrow lost Limbs
  +10 points - Regen from death [ Common way to cancel or well known such as vampires ]
  +20 points - Regen from death [ Hard to Cancel, such as Marvel Eternals ]
• Megascale : Definitely an advantage that bears watching. I toyed with making each +1/4 an increase of a factor of five or ten from normal scale. example: 5", 25", 125", 625"
  Decided to leave as is since it needs special consideration with each.
• Grabs 1/2 move; Grab & Throw|Squeeze - Full move
• Find Weakness - No, but different constructs possible
• Desolids, T-Ports, Indirects needs semi-common stopping. Hardened does not unless it's listed for special effects. If special effects warrant it, a +1/4 advantage can be purchased.
• Absorption: Every hit for absorption +1 this is easily abused
• Mental powers:
  For some reason I have a problem with mental characters. Perhaps with my running a mentalist in Wilson's current game is helping, but I'm not sure... You may be subconsciously persecuted. If you run a character like Allen, you'll be consciously persecuted.
• Mental Entangle - Must take lim that ego def adds to Ego for breaking out.
• Most Area Mental attacks would be non-selective or selective.
• AID - 5 pnts/die; Visible & costs End; Loss can be prorated down to per segments
• Bracing vs. knockback - Assumed vs all expected attacks Takes 1/2 phase. Flight abrades per hit. Ground may give way. Simple rule: Def/2 * Body If knocked back due to ground destruction, Breakfall +5 or dex roll if no breakfall
• Multi Attacks -
  Special effects must agree.
  Two attacks from the same framework are feasible.
  -1 * (number of attacks - 1) OCV on all attacks.
  Minimum of 1 end per attack (Even with Charges, 0 End, etc...)
• Rapid Attack and other such skills are under review.

Here's some agent equipment: Note the guns are pretty nasty by normal campaign limits. Of course, with a x3 Stun mod, bullets are easier to ignore for bricks.
