Everythign in red text is a change I suggest. The stuff in the OOC bellow this is stuff I suggest removal of.
Also not sure about the Patreon item Permanence. I thought Lloyd agreed that was not needed?

These are all done mor efficiently by using bennies. No point in having them any more.
Driving on Empty
Sometimes you need just 1 more power points to get the job done. These rewards allow for emergency recovery of some power points, of course you cannot exceed your normal maximum.
(1 EP) Recover 5 PP
(3 EP) Recover 10 PP
(5 EP) Recover 15 PP
(7 EP) Recover 20 PP
These are well outside the power curve of SWADE, definitely not balanced with a 1 EP Benny
(1 EP) Twist of Fate: To add +4 to any Trait or Skill Roll (must be declared before rolling)
(2 EP) Fate's Chosen: Add the value of your Trait die to a Trait or Skill roll (must be declared before rolling)
(1 EP) Power Flexibility: Temporarily switch trappings on a power (can be maintained as normal).
(1 EP) Roll d54 for a random Adventure Card - Card List
(5 EP) Choose any Adventure card from the deck not already in use
Adventure Card Notes:
Always a Hero!
All our characters are born a hero and most of them even stay that way. This purchase allows you to select an Edge above your current rank (subject to GM approval). Of course you must have an advance and all necessary prerequisites. Not applicable to Dragons and Ifs Mimicked from them.

Adventure Card Notes:
- Max 4 draws per quarter.
- Adventure Cards are held until used. Players can only hold one card per rank (Novice = 1, Seasoned = 2, Veteran = 3, Legendary =4). EP & Patron Cards do not count toward this limit.
- There are a limited number of each card in the 'Community Deck", once all of each type are in play they are unavailable for use by another player.

Original Proposal
I absolutely hate adventure cards and while i do not use them or allow them in my games. I understand some GMs would like them to stay.

Good In a Pinch
Heroes seem to have that little je ne sais quois which allows them to do just the right thing, just in the nick of time. These rewards let your hero temporarily bend fate in their favour.
(1 EP) Power Efficiency: Use a power for 1/2 PP costs (one time only)
(3 EP) Inspiration: Temporarily use an Edge you qualify for (ignoring Rank) for the duration of the current scene (scene length is defined by GM)
(3 EP) Wild Thing: One time use of: Deadshot, Mighty Blow, or Power Surge when dealt a Joker.
(5 EP) Expanded Understanding: Your character adds a power to her power list that she would normally not have access to. This may only be selected once per Rank. Note: This does not give your character the power; it merely adds the power to her list. She must still learn the power as normal (typically via spending an Advance on the New Power Edge). (new, Q4 2018)
Pawn Shop
Our tech heroes are always on the lookout for a good deal on weapons and gear. These rewards let you acquire some normally unavailable gear. These rewards can be taken either at character creation or negotiated with the GM to be acquired by role play (i.e. an interlude describing how it was acquired, something given by the legion or benefactor for performance, purchased with credits, etc.).
(3 EP) Access Restricted Gear (Such as CS Armor, Power Armor, and Weapons) to replace a single gear choice.
(1 EP) Replace your starting gear from another Iconic Framework (excluding power armor, robots, and, vehicles - character creation only)
(5 EP) Roll on Body Armor Table
(5 EP) Roll on Close Combat Weapons Table
(5 EP) Roll on Ranged Weapons Table
(5 EP) Roll on Mystic Weapons and Enchanted Items Table
(5 EP) Roll on Cybernetics Table (new, Q4 2018)
(10 EP) Gain a Signature Item. This custom unique piece of gear could be an enchanted, TW, or Werid Science Super tech item that grants a benefit fitting with your character concept. This will be created using the TW creation rules or the Major Object Creation edge in discussion with your GM. For power level use a Heroic level as a guide for modifier limits and rank restrictions. Limit one per character.
Well Fudge
Sometimes bennies, extra effort, and all that just leaves you out to dry. For those times when you just have to succeed, these rewards give you one more kick at the can.
(1 EP) Have I Got a Backstory for You: At character creation, your character may make his allotted Hero’s Journey rolls on any table or combination of tables of his choosing (except on tables specifically prohibited by his Iconic Framework, if any). He does not gain extra rolls by purchase of this option.
(1 EP) Purchase 1 additional Benny for any character
(5 EP) Deus Ex Machina: Retroactively Spend a Benny to reroll a critical failure, you must still spend the Benny. When used this enacts the Dumb Luck Setting rules.
(5 EP) The Rob: Rather than rolling on a Hero's Journey or Fortune & Glory table, you may pick your result.
Account Unlocks
(3 EP) Inactive Character Slot
