Character Creation Business #19: Mutants and Mastermind Third Edition

 “Mutants and Masterminds” -- sometimes shortened to “M&M” -- is a very famous superhero tabletop game made by Green Ronin. I am using the third edition here.  


Step #1 is for me to figure out the Power Level of the campaign and the Power Points that I need for my heroes. Question #1: Is the usual business for “M&M”: PL 10 and 150 PPs? My View: 50/50. Mythic View: 98. Exceptional No. I’m going with PL 20 and 300 PPs. 


Step #2 is for Abilities Rank. The eight abilities of “M&M” are the following: Strength, Stamina, Dexterity, Agility, Fighting, Intellect, Awareness, & Presence.  The following is what I did for my PC:



  • Strength: 12. 12 - 12 = 0 12 * 2 = 24. 300 - 24 = 276.

  • Stamina: 14. 14 - 0 = 14. 14 * 2 = 28. 276 - 28 = 248

  • Dexterity: 10. 10 - 10 = 0 10 * 2 = 20. 248 - 20 = 228

  • Agility: 13. 13 - 0 =13. 13 * 2 = 26. 228 - 26 = 202

  • Fighting: 11. 11 - 0 = 11. 11 * 2 = 22. 202 - 22 = 180

  • Intellect: 12. 12 - 0 = 12. 12 * 2 - 24. 180 - 24 = 156

  • Awareness: 10. 10 - 10 = 0. 10 * 2 = 20. 156 - 20 = 136

  • Presence: 12. 12 - 12 = 0. 12 * 2 = 24. 136 - 12 = 124.



Step #3 to deal with the Defensive and Initiative and there are based on one of the above ability. Dodge is equal to Agility. So that’s a 13. Fortitude is Stamina -- so that is a 14. Parry is based on Fighting -- so that’s an 11. Toughness is based on Stamina -- so that 14 as well. And Will is based on Awareness -- and that is 10


Step #4 is to get skills for my hero. Skills cost 1 PP per two levels of skills. The following is what I got for my heroes with the math business in brackets as usual: 


  • Acrobatics 2 (124 - 1 = 123)

  • Athletics 4 (123 - 2 = 121)

  • Close Combat 4 (121  - 2 = 119 )

  • Investigation 6 (119 - 3 = 116)

  • Perception 6 (116 - 3 = 113)

  • Technology 4 (113 - 2 = 111)



Step #5 is Advantages. Advantages only cost 1PP for them. The following is what I got for my PC: 


  • Beginner’s Luck (111 - 1 = 110)

  • Eidetic Memory (110 - 1 = 109)

  • Evasion (109 - 1 = 108)

  • Leadership (108 - 1 = 107)

  • Teamwork (107 - 1 - 106)



Step #4 is to get the Powers for my PC. The Power Cost are the powers are the following math problem. Power Cost = (Base Effect Cost x Extra - Flaws) * Rank + Flat Modifiers. The following is what I got for my PC with followed by the math business:



  • Fight 4  (4 + 2 = 2. 106 - 2 = 104)

  • Immorality 10 (104 - 20 = 84)



Step #5 is the hero’s name, I’m going with Angelica 


Step #6 is the hero’s player. That’s me, Dr. Fowl Thinker.😉


Step #7 is Identity. I’m going with Public and know as Min-Li Yu.


Step #8 is Gender. Angelica’s gender is female.


Step #9 is Age. I’m going with 25 years old.


Step #10 is Height. I’m going with 6 foot even.


Step #11 is Weight. I’m going with 150 lbs


Step #12 is Eyes. I’m going with Green.


Step #13 is Hair. I’m going with Pink


Step #14 is Group Affiliation. I’m going with None.


Step #15 is the Base of Operation. I’m going with the following: Tokyo, Japan.


Step #16 is Complication. I’m going with the following:  Famous (Min-Li Yu is a famous character from a famous anime) & Enemy  (Dr. Okatu likes to mess with her)
