2. Make a list of the strengths and abilities your character will have.
3. Think strategically.
4. Ask yourself how many character creation points (ccpts) you wish to allocate to
this character.
5. The ccpts are the cost of a character when choosing your team for battle, so
becareful when you begin creating superman.
6. Begin with your attribute scores listed below;
a. For each point in your attribute score it costs you an allotted amount of
ccpts.
7. Once you have subtracted all of your desired attribute scores from your ccpts;
read through the special abilities.cost of a character when choosing your team for
battle, so becareful when you begin creating superman.
8. Begin with your attribute scores listed below;
a. For each point in your attribute score it costs you an allotted amount of
ccpts.
b. Once you have subtracted all of your desired attribute scores from your
ccpts; read through the special abilities.

10. Once your basic outline of your character is complete, think about the decisions

the idea and to the game? “It is always better to loose the game with a
character that has character, than to win a game without.”- David L. Carlson III
