these are things that are not included in my version because they're homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity that I don't feel comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on this includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't need to advocate for a different one

-Gaining superpowers can be part of any campaign with fantastic elements. It can be permanent, or temporary. In fact,
|
|
-it's not necessary for every PC in the group to have anywhere near the same number of [power
|
|
-shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts). If a PC gains superpowers in the course of the story, the GM can use these rules.

-- **Super-Focus:** If a [modern](#chapter-14-modern) PC with a [mundane focus](#mundane-foci) gains superpowers, the
|
|
- nature of their new powers can be realized by choosing a \"super-focus\" in one of the following ways:
|
|
-
|
|
- - *Become Super.* The PC makes their existing focus \"super\". The GM should allow them choose at least one
|
|
- low-tier [ability](#choose-abilities) from [Chapter 9: Abilities](#chapter-9-abilities) to help complete their
|
|
- superpower package.
|
|
-
|
|
- - *Second Focus.* The PC gains a second super-[focus](#choose-focus). Any [power
|
|
- shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts) gained can't be applied to their first focus, and when they advance to a
|
|
- new tier, only the second super-focus provides new abilities to the PC.
|
|
-
|
|
- - *Fantastic Transformations.* The PC assumes a completely different identity when their superpowers are active.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **GM-Assigned or Player-Chosen Power Shifts:** The GM assigns the PC a number of [power
|
|
- shifts](#optional-rule-power-shifts).
|
|
- The GM might also decide how some or all of the PC's power
|
|
- shifts are assigned, allow the player to choose what to do with their power shifts, or leave matters up to a roll of
|
|
- the die.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Mastering New Powers:** Learning to use superpowers can be tricky. Until PCs complete a [character
|
|
- arc](#choose-character-arc) like [Learn](#arc-learn), the GM might assign the PC an inability when using their
|
|
- fledgling powers, or raise the [GM intrusion](#gm-intrusion) rate for the PC. GM intrusions might take the form of
|
|
- accidental or uncontrollable manifestation of superpowers.
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Other Changes:** Gaining powers might cause other dramatic changes in a PC. Most begin a new [character
|
|
- arc](#choose-character-arc), but some might change their [descriptor](#choose-descriptor), [type](#choose-type), or
|
|
- gain a [flavor](#choose-flavor).
|
|
-
|
|
-- **Supers Gain an XP Advance:** To set increase the baseline between PCs with and without superpowers even further,
|
|
- use the optional [starting at tier 0](#optional-rule-starting-at-tier-0) rules for normal PCs, and use the optional
|
|
- [XP Advance](#optional-rule-xp-advance) or [starting just past tier 1](#starting-just-past-tier-1) rules for
|
|
- superpowered PCs.
