(unofficial) Power Profiles list

[JDRook]

Much like the Threat Reports, Green Ronin is playing close to the chest on what Power Profiles are going to be released over the next year. However, there have been a few hints dropped, and I'd like to compile them here for general consumption.

As of Nov 16 2:30pm PST:

Currently Released Profiles (in order of release, now with included highlights)
Fire
Armor (discusses Removable and optional Impervious rules)
Mental (discusses Lasting Mental effects and Communication as a "switchboard" power)
Summoning
Tech
Weather (discusses Weather Arrays and using Selective differently to allow varying Environment effects)
Electrical (discusses real-world electricity in terms of power ranks and the only official version of Energizing Healing a PC can use on himself)
Water
Speed (discusses Speed Hazards, Speed Arrays, and the first official Immunity to Dodge/Parry attacks)
Earth
Luck (discusses Expanded Luck options to purchase other hero point benefits)
Magic (double-sized, chock full of pre-made spells and discusses spells as stunt and rituals, as well as creating your own arcane entities)
Illusion (discusses Illusion effect and adds a new Psychic modifier and new Affliction Conditions)

Talent (discusses Skill Knacks as Features that remove one type of skill penalty)
Morphing (discusses Morph effect and Transformed condition)
Meta (discusses the Variable effect)

Radiation
Life
Time
Martial Arts Powers
Cosmic
Dimensonal

I invite the ATT community to help me keep this list complete and up to date by posting your own findings and speculations below.

[Tinkerbell]

Would Magic be too broad? Maybe specific types? Voodoo, Demonic, Celestial, stuff like that. Or will it just stick to broad "comic book magic"

It's possible, since I hadn't really expected a Profile for something as broad as Tech, but for the most part it specializes in technological manipulation. Unless they focussed on manipulation of magic itself (whatever that might mean) or something like that, I think it would be hard to make a satisfying 6-page product out of it.

Also, M&M is primarily about superheroes, so I think generic comic book magic should be expected. Then again, there are presumably going to be about 50 of these coming out, and we barely know a quarter of them so far, so maybe a handful of Magic types might be planned.

Would Magic be too broad?

I think I can safely say "No, just broad enough."

One of the joys of cautious pessimism is occasionally being proved wrong.

[Jameson]

Light Powers
Radiation Powers
Magnetic Powers

all of which were name-dropped in the new Electric Powers profile ...

... and all of which you apparently edited in ahead of me ...

[Steve Kenson]

Note that the "Machine" powers reference in Mental Powers is in error. It references the Tech Powers profile, which was renamed to be more accurate, but the earlier reference wasn't removed.

[Flying Cobra]

I'm pretty sure it's been implied that

Darkness Powers
Gravity Powers
Sound Powers

are going to be touched upon.

Others I'm pretty sure, given the number of slots available, Steve & Co. will tackle are:

Teleportation
Vibratory Powers
Time Powers

Removed from list.

@Flying Cobra - I agree those are all likely candidates, but unless I see something in writing from Green Ronin, I'm keeping them in the Speculative category.

Nice.

How about that other flavor of magic, cosmic powers?

[jaydarkson]

How about Shapeshifting and Alternate forms? Or is there not enough to work with there?

[ScrapeJacket]

This could be in the future:

+Bio Powers (Animal Mimicry, Biological control, and Adaptation)

+Spatial Powers (Folding space, mobius loops, and dimensional blades)

+Force Powers (Barriers, Constructs, and the best defense)

+Cosmic Powers (Project cosmic energy, meteor showers, and the cold of space)

[King Snarf]

I don't know if this would fall under shapeshifting, but stretchy, rubbery powers are a tried and true staple of comics. Stretching, bouncing, human snares, etc.

[Techno]

Speculation:
Gadget Powers (because Armor and general tech manipulation has been covered so we might as complete the tenative trifecta)
Metal (powers revolving around its manipulation, might make a good subset for Earth powers)

And... sorry, that's all I got.

[King Snarf]

Maybe Quantum based powers. A lot of this would be covered in others (thanks, unified field theory!), but thinks like Quantum duplicates or a Schrodinger's cat power would be interesting, though admittedly high concept.
