@Zero Hex For regulation purposes. If you want a weapon, feel free to tell me and we can talk about it so that you'd get it ASAP.

@malmshodes Basic. You'll progress in strength faster in this RP.

I don't quite follow. How is regulating weapons and skills, key parts of the genre, any more difficult than regulating outright superpowers?

@Zero Hex
Maybe its because this is just the beginning, and the super powers are going to be really basic at the start. Where as if you get a special weapon it's going to automatically be two things: Weapon and whatever special about it? Just a thought

Well, yeah, but then he could just make people have their one signature item and no extra powers to start with, you know? And I'm just wondering how having a superpower, even if a basic one, is somehow easier to manage than a weapon that can be even simpler and whose special abilities can be limited in the same way.

And then with the skills, a lot of characters aren't defined by explicit supowerpowers but rather by how well they do karate or handle a sword or whatever. It just feels like a real strange limitation that cuts off a ton of what makes the genre to start with and it didn't seem to be a problem on the first game.
