So, you have some cool ideas for new Aspects and/or Drawbacks...

Great! Be a part of the system and add your ideas to it. Post your ideas for Aspects in the appropriate category for it- such as Species, Educational, Super-powered, or General. If it's a General Aspect, there will be many sub-categories, such as "Aimed Shot Aspects", or "Burst-Related". If there isn't a category for the General Aspect yours applies to, start off the thread for it!

Drawbacks
Since drawbacks are fairly random, post your own thread for all of YOUR drawback ideas. For your subject line in your thread, please note that is a "Drawback Thread", and a general idea of what they pertain to, or a list of ones you've made.


If you have a comment on an Aspect or Drawback someone's posted, go for it! I will do my best to personally review every user-submitted Aspect and Drawback, and put a stamp of approval or notes for suggested fixes to it. However, I do not consider any user-submitted content to be core, and 100% legal if you're going by strict rules. Every character's Aspects and Drawbacks will affect them in different ways, since they've probably optimized and handcrafted their characters.

Creation Tips

As a side note, no single Aspect or Drawback can be a 0-AP value. Make it +1 or -1, but never 0. Modify it's worth one way or the other if you have to.

Also, a single Aspect or Drawback shouldn't cover a large handful of a variety bonuses and penalties- split it up, and/or simplify it! A horribly complex Aspect with a really low point value because of the addition of penalties can over-power it.

What you can do is have a 2-part Aspect/Drawback, that require either other to take in conjunction; but one is an Aspect, one is a Drawback.

A drawback should generally be about one and a half times as worse as an equivalent point Aspect, since a character would ideally take a Drawback that won't hinder them too much. So if Aspect A gives you a +2 for 2 AP, an equivalent Drawback should be -2 for -1AP.
