Extra Energy power and power points vs power points.

[billyorkfelix]

So we can buy 100 extra power points spending 10 points from the budget. Those would add to the normal POW pool. OK. But then there's the eventual matching characteristic vs characteristic. I feel it could be quite overpowering having a character clash their 113 power points against some poor 18 from his opponent. Am I too concerned?

My first reaction was "it seems to me no super power targets Power Points", but then I read Drain...

I would rule that those extra Power Points can only be used to fuel powers, and do not add to character's own Power Points.

That's already a big advantae, as the character can keep his own PP at maximum even after having used some of his powers.
