All of the Weaknesses that I have come up with thus far are now up on the right side there. There will be more to come later on.

Weaknesses
So, the basic rules for weaknesses are up and soon some basic weaknesses are going up as I need a short break from writing powers.
Which by the way, I am into the D's. I will add more into the sectiosn already completed as I progress but for now I want to get the big list completed and then add to that. I'm shooting for 200-250 different powers to choose from. And lots of weaknesses, dunno how many yet but more than likely 50+.
Edit- First few weaknesses are up.

Back on Track - more ideas
So I'm back on track writing power descriptions after a short hiatus. We are now almost done with most of the C's. 34 of over 200 powers done...ugh.
As for the weakness conumdrum I think I'm going to have it be a mix of the below ideas on a previous post.
Characters start with 5 ranks in powers for free, they can take upto to 10 more (total 15 ranks) if they take an equal number of weakness ranks. In addition if a power goes above a certain rating, I'm thinking 5 right now, then they will begin to develop more weaknesses. The total number of powers may also affect this.
Another idea a friend of mine had was a karma/motivation scale. Works something like this.
Your character has 2 motivational ideals - say glory and money. For every major action that bring glory or money to him he gains some karma points. For everything that he does that makes him look dumb or costs him lots of money he gains negative karma. (Notice both are gains). the GM tracks how much karma the character has and the player can opt to add X amount of karma to a roll on a 1 for 1 basis, but he doesn't know if he has any positive karma. If he spends more karma boosting his rolls he also gains negative karma. The GM can use the negative karma to boost the rolls against that character. This would allow a character (if played intelligently) to have some really truly awesome moments, and for one played badly to be smacked like a bitch .
