[ORE] Re: Wild Talents: Getting over the hump

While Greg Stolze's rpgnet thread is fantastic, I think a really good
primer would involve explicit writeups of the 'standard cliche
heroes'.

That is, generate two or three writeups each for a Flying Brick, a
Mentalist/Psychic/Whatever, a Martial Artist, and an Energy Blaster,
or whatever.

Each writeup should be distinct. That is, do a Flying Brick using
Gourmet Miracles. Then do another one using only Cafeteria miracles.
Then do one that has strange baroque abilities (like the "Do something
awesome with my eyebeams" power that Greg gave Cyclops) but is still
obviously a Flying Brick.

Do that same kind of conceptual breakdown of each of the cliche
superhero types, and make the costing of the powers and abilities
explicit. You could probably even assemble it from characters that
have already been stated in your existing books.

I think this could really help people 'grok' how the character system
and powers work.

Dunno.
