It is totally free!
It also comes with 12 new Plug and Play Templates.
To illustrate it in action, I will make three characters here, one from each Design Point total (100, 150, 200).
To make things easy, I will choose the first template for each point total.
100 POINTS
So, I roll and get:
BATTLE FURY 9 (3/2/1)
Link +5
Fickle
MYSTICALLY EMPOWERED 7 (1/1/1)
Link +3
PREHENSILE TAIL 5 (1/2/3)
Link +3
ALTERNATE MOVEMENT- I decide to finish rolling before I decide how to define this. 4 (1/1/1)
POPULAR 3 (1/2/3)
Link +1
So, looking at the Traits I rolled up, the first thing that strikes me is he a little but like Reptil, but not exactly. I have to allocate Auto-Defend toa Trait, so I pick MYSTICALLY EMPOWERED. And I get one Situational Boost. So, maybe the idea of a smiley, younger Hero who has some power granted him from a somewhat dark Mystical source, maybe a pentagram necklace. the tail is a demonic barbed tail, and for his alternate movement I settle on BLINKING, which I define as very short range Teleportation, only to locations that are visible to the character. The Situational Boost, I decide will be using his BATTLE FURY. And I name him:
KID INFERNAL
BATTLE FURY 9 (3/2/1)
Link +5
Fickle
+2 if used after the Fickle roll failed.
MYSTICALLY EMPOWERED 7 (1/1/1)
Link +3
Auto-Defend
PREHENSILE TAIL 5 (1/2/3)
Link +3
BLINKING 4 (1/1/1)
POPULAR 3 (1/2/3)
Link +1
NEXT
150 POINT CHARACTER
THE CHOSEN ONE 15 (1)
Only When the Chips Are Down
DOCTOR 9 (1/2/3)
Link +5
ENDURANCE 7 (3/2/1)
Link +3
SECRET LAIR/ HQ 5 (1/2/3)
Link +3
INVISIBILITY 5 (1/1/1)
Link +3
I have to allocate Auto-Defend and Allocate 2 Versatile slots.
Interesting, with the Chosen One and Doctor immediately coming to mind is some sort of character who found a hidden mystical nation, and studied there, learning secrets known to few, capturing some of the Doctor Strange/ Iron Fist vibe.
Doctor is ranked very high, so he is one of the world's finest Doctors.
I decide that his Secret Lair is actually a pocket dimension that he can access from anywhere, and traveling to the mystical nation grants him cool powers, sort of matrix style, but maybe that he kind of steps out of time for a moment and powers up.
Therefore I present to you:
DOCTOR DRAGON
THE CHOSEN ONE 15 (1)
Only When the Chips Are Down
DOCTOR 9 (1/2/3)
Link +5
ENDURANCE OF THE DRAGON 7 (3/2/1)
Link +3
Auto-Defend
MYSTICAL LAIR 5 (1/2/3)
Link +3
Versatile (Teleport, Martial Arts, ___, ___)
INVISIBILITY 5 (1/1/1)
Link +3
Lastly, 200 POINTS:
POPULAR 12 (1/2/3)
Link +5
ADAPTATION 12 (1/1/1)
TRANSPORTATION 9 (1/1/1)
Link +5
RECKLESS 9 (2/1)
Link +5
RESISTANCE 7 (1/1/1)
Link +3
MYSTICALLY EMPOWERED 5 (1/1/1)
Link +3
Hmmm..... Transportation needs to be defined a bit more, per the writeup (skateboard, motorcycle, jetpack, etc), but immediately I think of an extreme sports athlete. Not to tread too much on the toes of the good Dr (above) I decide that this Hero has a public ID, and was a very beloved Extreme Sports star, though not necessarily gold-medal winning, but a true media darling. He decided to talk his spiritual journey and as an avalanche trapped him, he focused his inner energies and persevered and as he dug his way out of the snow, found a temple atop the mountain, where before there was nothing. He spent many months learning the ways of these mystical monks, and returned to the east, no better at sports he competed in, but given a greater gift. He publicly told his story, which was met with some derision, as he was beloved, he had a reputation as a bit of a goofball, and he announced he would now be using his powers for good. Thus, was born:
(note I allocated his Auto-Defend)
THE RIGHTEOUS ONE
Brodie St. John
POPULAR 12 (1/2/3)
Link +5
ADAPTATION 12 (1/1/1)
Auto Defend
XTREME TRANSPORT (skateboard, snowboard, BMX bike, etc) 9 (1/1/1)
Link +5
RECKLESS 9 (2/1)
Link +5
RESISTANCE 7 (1/1/1)
Link +3
MYSTICALLY EMPOWERED 5 (1/1/1)
Link +3
(I loosely define his XTREME TRANSPORT as any XTreme sports style means of transport, that magically appears as needed).
