It used to be Fantasy Hero, Champions (superheroes) and a few other genres, but since the system is truly generic, they combined them all into one system - Champions. What makes this system powerful is its simplicity (a minimum of tables) and its flexibility. I've created many worlds with it - everything from fantasy to 20s gangsters to cartoons to sci-fi and weird combinations. For example - an energy blast is generic - but you can give it the special effect fire, add the advantage area effect, the limit of once a day and even base it on a focus (like a wand or ring or sentient sword) and voila it's a fireball. I love this system because if you have a strong world/character concept in mind, you can create it exactly. Perfect for the Taltos world with its varied magics and weird weapons and races. Sean
