Each power level typically grants a character an allotment of points to purchase attribute levels, base attack and defense bonuses, saving throws, feats, skill ranks and super powers, though the game encourages Game Masters to modify the number of points given per level up or down to reflect the style of game they wish to run. The power level represents the maximum rank of any combat abilities a character can purchase. This allows a character to begin as an already established superhero with incredible abilities.
Instead, they have a Power Level (or "PL"), and typically a character begins at Power Level 10 instead of Level 1. M&M characters are not class-based nor do they technically have class levels. The following information details what makes M&M notable among other d20-based RPGs and is provided under what Green Ronin considers "open game content". There are also numerous other differences such as the elimination of character classes and attacks of opportunity, a modified Skill list, a very different Feat selection, and the fact that any equipment possessed is considered a part of the character and purchased in a manner similar to powers. The largest differences pertain to character creation, injury and damage, and hit points, as well as the addition of Hero Points and, obviously, super powers. Mutants & Masterminds' game mechanics are based on the OGL d20 System, designed by Wizards of the Coast, however it is a highly modified version of that basic system.
