Heroic Action Role-Play

Powers are a subgroup of Schticks that do things beyond the norm. There are many heroic and unlikely things a hero can do in an action movie without undue concern for realism, but even in movies there is a limit on what is convincing and what is not. Powers deal with extraordinary abilities beyond the ken of even movie sensibilities.
