Superheroes and Milestones<\/p>\n
Having reread Super Squadron again recently, one interesting part near the end of that game involves the conversion of existing experienced heroes to the system, which does have an experience level statistic.<\/p>\n
The ballparks used are comics the hero is currently starring in. If you are comic geeky enough you could certainly do that, or find out all the series that people are in. It gave fractional experience level awards if part of a team…e.g. X-Men, etc.<\/p>\n
If you like more granular standard four-colour superheroics with respect to established heroes and your newbie Fate characters this an idea that I have been considering.<\/p>\n
A simple way to look at it for Fate and its standard Milestone experience system would be to award a Major Milestone for each year of existence of the character. Perhaps lowered if only part of a team in a comic sense, as per Super Squadron. Divide by two or by four or something along those lines.<\/p>\n
