Proposal: Feel the Burn

Add a new attribute in the GNDT, Life.

Life, the equivalent of HP. Life can be any integer between zero and 50. A Hero will gain 10% (round down) of their life every 48 hours in power. All Heros will have a Life status of 40 shoud this proposal pass. Should Life reach zero, a Hero cannot use any powers that aren't automatic until their Life is above 0


Is it just me, or do we need another attribute for powers to have effect on, other than Power? I know its simplistic and maybe it's too reminiscent of HP in most RPG's. It doesn't make sense to have what will more than likely be the "source" of our super-power's also be the only thing they can really effect.

For example, if there exists at some point a power Fireball, which, say, takes away 5 power from whomever it is directed at. To put limits on use, it will either take Power from the person who uses it, or the holder of the power will be limited by number of uses per day. If you don't limit it in one of those two ways, then you're letting them use something quite damaging whenever they want. Instead of directing the effect of Fireball at Power, all these problems can be fixed by directing them at removing "Life".

Commence abuse.
