Questions regarding enemies (disadvantage)
I have been wondering…
When I pick an enemy of medium strength (-20 points), it should be at least 150% points of the PC’s starting points. But, then…
Thank you! - Hide |

There isn't one, but I'd probably say no more than 300% or so.

Note that these can be combined, if the player has points to buy down the Enemy disadvantage but not buy it off completely. The replacement Enemy is less powerful than the old Enemy.

Re: Questions regarding enemies (disadvantage)
I think I get it, but well... if this is a group of 20 people and they are "less powerful" (50% PC points or less), is it acceptable to give them a leader with at least 100% of the PC's CP?

You could be playing a spunky girl reporter and your Enemy is an alien rocketed to Earth with all of Superman's powers but none of his fondness for humanity. It would still be a medium strength enemy as long as he didn't create an organization. Obviously at that level of mismatch the GM can't have Evil Superman be out to kill our girl reporter, but he doesn't have to want to kill her to be her Enemy. |

By extension, I'd think a medium-sized group with the rank-and-file being less powerful than the PC could include some individuals who are as powerful as the PC. Since a small group (3-5) of enemies as powerful as the PC would be the equivalent of a medium-sized group of less powerful enemies, I'd say that there are only 1 or 2 such individuals in any medium group regardless of the base power level. When the enemy does appear, encountering 1 superior individual shouldn't be a common occurrence, and both individuals being present should be a rare occurrence. |
