RogerCooper Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Years ago, I had worked out some guidelines for power levels for RQ. Others may find these useful. POW 0: Inanimate objects, Plants, Animals with only instinctive intelligence POW 5: Animals with adaptive intelligence POW 10: Normal humans and comparable creatures POW 15: Fantasy races, elite humans, Power users POW 20: Supernatural races, elite members of fantasy races, heroes, minor gods POW 25: Mid-ranked gods POW 30: Major gods POW 35: Ruling god By fantasy races, I mean creatures which are more magical or powerful than humans but are still mortal and have normal socities. In Tolkien, Dwarves, Hobbits and the Dunedain would count. In Greek mythology, the Centaurs would be a fantasy race By supernatural races, I mean creatures which are unaging and the like. In Tolkien, Elves (and the Nazgul) would be a supernatural racea. In Greek mythology, nymphs, satyrs and river gods would be included. Mid-ranked gods in Tolkien would include the Wizards, Tom Bombadil and the Witch-King. In Greek mythology beings like Pan, Proteus and the Giants would be at this level. Major Gods in Tolkien would be the Valar (and Sauron). In Greek mythology the 12 Olympians would the major gods. The Ruling god level would Manwe (& Morgoth) in Tolkien, while in Greek myth only Zeus would be at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to have a 3 digit POW level to be unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sladethesniper Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I agree, but I was using CoC as the source material and made a magic system where there was a "casting" on the fly mechanic similar to Mage (OWoD) and it ended up needing A LOT of PWR to make things work right. Probably not compatible with BRP... -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
