| rdfs:label | - M&M (Paragons) Breakout rules
|
| rdfs:comment | - Paragons tries to take a more realistic view of the influence of superpowers on the world. In genre terms, Paragons could be better described as paranormal as opposed to superhero. Whereas a roleplaying game often has combat as a primary focus of character creation, Paragons tends to focus on exploitation of superpowers in an almost capitalistic way (even combat powers). Take the following power: Enhanced feat (Attractive) 1 (Extra: Affects others only) There is a negative side to this. There would be a great clamor for the Paragon's services. This would be similar for a healer.

| abstract | - Paragons tries to take a more realistic view of the influence of superpowers on the world. In genre terms, Paragons could be better described as paranormal as opposed to superhero. Whereas a roleplaying game often has combat as a primary focus of character creation, Paragons tends to focus on exploitation of superpowers in an almost capitalistic way (even combat powers). Take the following power: Enhanced feat (Attractive) 1 (Extra: Affects others only) This power allows the Paragon to bestow the Attractive feat on anyone. Enhanced (trait) is already Continuous in duration. This power costs one power point. Now, imagine the effect that this would have on all cosmetic plastic surgeons. They would be out of business. There is a negative side to this. There would be a great clamor for the Paragon's services. This would be similar for a healer. Finally, the superpowers of Paragons tend to lean towards novel ways of using (via extras, flaws, and power feats) powers. These can still be effective in the roleplaying game sense (combat/conflict), just not the brute force approach of pure combat powers.
