New player question about adders/advantages


Tasky29

Recommended Posts

Hey all I have been a RPG player for year and love the system I have done a few test runs using pregen characters from the books. Feeling confident I started making a character but am stuck on adders and advantages. I have the Champions Complete book but can't tell what modifiers are adders and which are advantages. Is there something I missed somewhere?

 

Thanks for all your help.

I can't speak for Champions Complete, which I didn't write, but generally speaking the text should clearly state (at least in most instances) which is which. If it doesn't, here's the basic way to identify them:

 

--an Adder is a defined amount of points added to a power, such as +5 points or +10 points.

 

--an Advantage is a multiplier applied to a power, such as +1/2 or +1.

 

Thus, an Advantage's value depends on how expensive the base Power is, but an Adder's cost is always the same.

 

Hope that helps!
