Character Points[edit]
Many things described in the Mano a Mano Role-Playing System - including characters, equipment and templates - have a Character Point (CP) value. CP is a rough estimate of how valuable that thing is. Players often design new PCs with a CP limit of about 300 CP, not including equipment. Minor NPCs usually have about 250 CP. The most powerful PCs and legendary heroes have up to 1000 CP. Powerful superheroes could have as much as 3000 CP. CP might also be used to compare the strength of the characters and equipment on opposing teams.
