Powerful individuals could wreak havoc if they have powers that no one else has/has ever had. Like if there is one person in the world who can control minds, or one person who can't die. Even then it would require a power that can't be duplicated/negated by science (for instance, being the only person with super-strength, flight, or lasers would be awesome, but could be counteracted).

But all of those sorts of abilities require a good deal of points (I'm assuming that getting super-powers in this kill-and-points world doesn't require an Unusual Background first). It would take a long time - and a lot of kills - for a person to build up their powers to the scary point. But in this kind of world, that could, perhaps would, eventually happen.


Would the 'point earning kill' by accompanied by any sort of light show or the like? I'm just thinking of what happened in Highlander, which is what this concept of a world originally made me think of.
