2.4 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS
§ Basic Characteristics are assigned in the order of the player's choosing. Players have a choice of three options for determing Basic Characteristics. The choices are:
1. Roll 3d6
2. Roll 4d6, drop the lowest die
3. Use the following array: 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
2.6 FINAL CALCULATIONS
B. Agility Modifier
§ Agility Modifier applies to Initiative only.
C. Basic Characteristics
§ Switch the STR and AGL HP Modifiers with each other.
2.7 SUPER POWERS DESCRIPTION
§ Heightened Initiative (NEW):
A. Roll 2d10 and add the result to Initiative.
B. Roll 3d10 and add the result to Initiative.
§ Ice Powers:
Ambient air temperature will affect generation of ice. Between Freezing (32° F/0° C) and Room Temperature (68° F/ 20° C), there is no bonus or penalty for generation of ice. Between 77° F (25° C) and 120° F (48.9° C), it takes twice as much Movement to generate ice, and twice as much ice melts. For every 100° above 120 (48.9° C), double the Movement cost, double the Power cost (begin at 2 at 121° F) and double the melting rate. At 451° F (232.8° C), it will be impossible to generate ice--except to counteract searing-heat damage.
On the cool side, it takes two-thirds the amount of Movement to generate ice Below Freezing (31° F/ -0.8° C), half as much Below Zero (0° F/ -17.8° C).
§ Paralysis Ray:
Those hit by the Paralysis Ray now gain an End save (d100) to avoid being knocked unconscious.

3.2 BASIC COMBAT
F. Combat Modifiers/Manoeuvres
3.5 MULTIPLE ATTACKS
Multiple-target attacks end with the first result of a miss. In other words, a character attacking three villains hits the first but misses the second. That hero still hits the first target, but he or she cannot roll to hit on the third. The character must still pay a Power cost of 2 per additional target (including the first miss).
4.3 GENERATING NONPLAYER CHARACTERS
E. Origin and Background (Knowledge Areas)
Knowledge Areas are clusters of skills covered by a descriptive title (i.e. Espionage, Scientist, Hunting, etc). The base chance of success for a "skill" not covered by your K.A. is (9 + Char/5) (round down). i.e. a 4th level character is trying to swim (Agl based), he has an Agl of 22 so his swim skill is 14 or less on d20. Knowledge Areas allow the character to add his level to the base skill chance. The character mentioned above with the appropriate K.A. would have a swim skill of 17.
There are modifiers to the Attribute check based on the task/situation difficulty (i.e. -2 for Challenging tasks, -4 for Difficult tasks, -8 for Strenuous tasks, -16 for Extreme tasks). A roll of 1 is always a success and a roll of 20 is always a failure. Naturally for common/simple tasks, a die roll isn't needed (such cases are automatic successes).
6.3 INVENTIONS & INVENTING POINTS…
8.4 LEAPING TALL BUILDINGS…
Characters have a base forward leap of 1" per 5 points of Strength. Characters can leap straight up 1" for every 10 points of Strength. Leaping costs movement only.
