These are all random game mechanics that don't have a page of their own yet. They are mostly half-baked ideas right off the top of my head as I think about them. Hopefully they will find their way into something at my table. Super Power Mechanics Powers are rolled as a pool of d6's, finding the highest die and adding any static bonuses to it. Additional 6's are added on as +1 to the roll (if you roll a 2, 3, 6, 6, you get a 7 because 6 is your highest roll, plus and extra +1 for the second 6).

It is based on Steve Kenson's Superlative System notes, originally here but now seemingly here in a slightly updated form.

The general idea behind this hack is that d6s are used instead of d10s. The amount of dots in the Attribute is how many dice are rolled. The amount of dots in the Skill is what number is needed for a success. 1 dot = 6, 2 dots = 5+, 3 dots = 4+, 4 dots = 3+, 5 dots = 2+. Having no dots in a Skill means you need to roll 6s for success with the negative to the dice pool listed above the skill list: -2 for Mental , -1 for Physical and Social).
