Nope. I don't see a think

Other than Super Science we will go with RaW for TW and Enchanted Items.

We will use Heroic level for powers/edges etc.

For enchanted items edges do not require power points, they are always active. Powers require a built in pool of points to activate.

Is there anything left to debate?

Hello,

Given all characters in this forum will be obsolete once the final version of our books are released I will archive all characters created here into an old locked forum.

This will happen once the final version of the TLPG is released.

Given we're a "big damn heroes" type group leaving them grandfathered is probably fine. Although, Sa'Maku is kind of anti-magic so I don't really have a stake in the game.

If you wanted something a little more narrow in scope than maybe a MARS with AB Gifted (shape change).

Psi-Druid with shape change could also pull it off maybe.

But I think mystic would be more versatile.
