Check out some of the power entries to see how far it goes :) You can use an action point a little bit for that, but this expands on that.

After a mile stone you have built up enough excitement or energy or what not that you can pull off a super human feat of speed and mover extra fast, or pull off an extra power.

This would be a one time event and acts as a minor reset button. Hey, just found this website a few minutes ago (to explain the comment on a month-old post). :)

I always considered the boss fight at the end of every scenario a sort of "limit break" fight. Everybody blows their daily powers within a few rounds, doing all kinds of cool stuff that they don't do in a "normal" fight. I'll be interested to see the mechanics you present.

I'm excited to get this one delivered. @therecursionking welcome! That's a good start, but the system also needs a way to expand the characters endurance. These fights will be longer, and the characters need a way to keep going to see the conclusion. I've got some ideas that I'll be sharing, but that is a good start, definitely. @greywulf Bleach is another good one that I failed to mention. I’m excited to get this one delivered.

Yup, next time we'll get into the mechanics of it. After that will be a look into some examples of play. Glad you liked the article! Yup, next time we’ll get into the mechanics of it.
