That's over 400 different powers in one book! You'll also find some useful power variants, expanded power extras and flaws, and optional rules for use with your Mutants & Masterminds games, and some guidance on creating and handling more complex or unusual power concepts. With Power Profiles, your imagination truly is the only limit on your power to create!
