D20 Supers

Level progression has always seemed to me to be a game mechanic very ill
suited for a supers game, but D&D is locked into it, so there you are.
Of course, the GM can just begin everyone at 10th level (or
what-have-you) and leapfrog over the steps of the experience ladder.
But since it is an expansion for D20 Modern, I think one should look
elsewhere for a Golden or Silver Age campaign rules set. However, in
fairness, if one is looking for a street-level or 'realistic' supers
game this combination will be hard to beat, Plus, you get the advantage
of porting over to D&D with your super,

I agree with Silverlion; the genre supplements were skimpy, overpriced,
and unsatisfactory. The only exception was D20 Past which was at least
passable.

Note that M&M doesn't really have level progression as such. You earn
power points as experience and use them to buy stuff. When the GM
decides to raise the Power Level ceiling then you can buy more of the
same stuff.

In 2nd Edition of M&M. In First Edition there was slow progress (not as
slow as MSH, but still.)

However, that's one of the few "improvements" in 2E.
