Frameworks

Unless otherwise specifically altered or contradicted in these house rule pages, the rules found in the 5th Edition Hero System apply at all times.

The Veto Rule: Jack and Becky reserve the right to refuse to allow any Power Framework, even if the Framework in question is otherwise legally constructed.

The Magic Rule: In general, only characters with some form of spell-casting ability will be permitted to use Power Frameworks.  Specific exceptions can be made depending on the circumstances and the justification.

Restrictions: The following may never be purchased through any Framework.

  • Duplication
  • Find Weakness
  • Luck
  • Multiform
  • Perquisites

The following are not allowed in Multipowers or Elemental Controls, but are allowed in Variable Point Power Pools.

  • Endurance Reserve
  • Enhanced Senses
  • Life Support other than Full Life Support.
  • Skills:  Note: Skill Levels are permitted in a Framework under one condition, and that's if they are bought as powers that cost Endurance to use.

All other powers and talents are permitted in a framework, assuming that the power or talent in question fits the concept of the Framework.

Additive Powers: Powers bought within a Framework are not additive to other powers within that Framework unless they are purchased in the same slot.  In such cases, the power with the higher active cost takes precedence.

Focus Destruction: Multipowers, Elemental Controls, and Variable Point Power Pools count as single  powers each for purposes of focus destruction.

Variable Point Power Pool Advantages and Limitations: Powers within a Variable Point Power Pool are affected by, but do not have their cost altered by, limitations and advantages that are purchased on the Control Cost of the Variable Point Power Pool.
