Doing Experience – Marvel Heroics Style

0. Consider each data file to have, at least, the following for free: a. Affiliations, 3 Distinctions b. One power set, 2 die at d6, one sfx and one limit(assume extra limits are added, no t changed) c. 2 specialities at d8 d. Milestones 1. Using normal XP expenditure rules, calculate how much EXP it would take to make that character. 2. For a custom character within a group of pre-made files, add up all the EXP spent by each character (either before or after the beginning of play) 3. Divide it by the number of players – this will give you your mean. 4. After applying the rule of 0 to the custom character, give them that much EXP to spend on making their character.

Example

Armour

 Ignore Affiliations and Distinctions.  Power set o Two powers of d10 – 40 EXP(10 for d8, 10 for d10 x2) o 3 sfx – 30 EXP (2 new Sfx =15 exp) o 2 Limits – 5 EXP (1 new limit=5 exp)  Specialities o 3 at Expert – 15exp(2 free, one at expert purchased)  Total =90 exp

Keep in mind

 If somebody actually has less than rule 0 for in power sets or specialities a reduction in XP cost is applied.  If a sheet says X+Y, X is the first and Y the second power set on the sheet respectively.  This isn’t entirely indicative of effectiveness. These are just numbers.  Means are rounded to nearest multiple of 5, with the actual number (0dp) in brackets.  It’s hard to find groups of four with identical XP costs – a range of +-10 should suffice.  I assume Marvel wanted character power to comic power – seems to have worked.  50SI(Rev) = Fifty State Initiative (Revised edition)  The highest cost is Dr Strange with 475, 110 more than the closest competitor ().  The lowest is Microbe with 25, 20 less than .  Pretty much every appearance in is an upgrade or identical to their core version.  Powers: X(-X) means that they have less than standard of something – the deduction reflects this.
