| − | Hey Guys. We've played around with your system for a while and would like to propose some additional stuff. We have worked out some Splats for Superheroes; As traditional in nWoD settings the Alpha-Splat is called "Origin" and defines what made the Hero into what he is, the Beta-Splat works a little like Hunter Compacts and is named "Calling". Calling defines how the Hero stereotypes himself and he or she may have more than one Calling (like Batman [Detective/Martial Artist/Vigilante] or Captain America [Adventurer/Patriot/Weapon Master]). Calling dots may also act as a Reputation among Superhumans. We played our setting closely tied to the Marvel universe, so feel free to add, change, or cut what you do not like. If you'd like to contact me/us come over to [[http://193.anuanu.de/index.php/Category:WoDMtH]] or mail to Simon@iknn.de. Cheers, Simon ;-)
| + | Origin and Calling section has been moved to a new page. Look for the normal link on the Character page. |
| | + | ---- |
| | + | Equipment has been moved to it's own section. Look for the link on the Merits page. |
| | + | ---- |
| | + | If looking for Limit Break and related merits, these where deleted as they duplicate Enhancement Merits with more complicated rules and lower prerequisites. |

| + | Before adding a new merit, please check to see if it already exists. If it could be a simple variation of an (published) existing merit, add that to the Expanded Merits section. If it could exist as part of an expanded version of a merit on this wiki, expand that entry. Only if neither of these options are available should you add a merit to this section. Otherwise we get a lot of clutter and redundancy. Almost half the merits we see added here are later deleted because they already existed. |
