But doing it just like that would still increase the mass (weight), thats why I am trying to find out alternatives (?)

I thought you were pairing mass with ST. If that is case then buying up HP, Striking ST, and Lifting ST should be no problem.

PK in 2007 references buying Resistant to Knockback as a Common threat, so you could buy +3 to resist knockback for 5 points, giving a net +1 when combined with the -2 from Skinny.

I'd like to know if anyone ever approximated some some maths for things besides +3 or +8 for those wanting to pay 1-4 or 6-7 or 9-14 points againt Common Threats.

Sounds good enough to me for the knockback part! Which pyramid is that one? And can you think of anything else to cover the skill penalties?

Buy your HP with No Signature +25% (Powers p.103). For 1 you get someone with ST 15 with the appearance and mass of ST 13, for 2 points ST 11, 3 points ST 9, etc.

It's a house rule, so anything that interacts with it will also be a house rule.

The skill penalties are part of how you appear, I guess just buy up the skill or buy a talent in them?
