Most heroes have some form of superpowers or specialized equipment (see Equipment for more information.) To figure out what your hero has, compare the hero to other heroes in the Roster and look over the list of powers.
Regardless of where it comes from, a power is rated much like an ability. Each has an intensity which runs from 0 to 30, just like ability scores. The two are roughly equivalent; that is, an intensity 15 telekinetic can move things just as well as someone with 15 Strength - though from across the room, of course.
Take a look at the chart below to judge your hero’s intensity for each power your hero has.
Note: Please keep in mind that MWI opperates on a 0 to 20 scale, rather than a 0 to 30 scale. We use a 20D (twenty sided die.)
