Anyone here have had the worst experience with the random powers rolls? I did when I was playing with a new group.The Gamemaster was a hardcase about the rules (which is ok, but do not over do it) and the character I rolled up had the following as powers :
poison/venom
Heightened End A
Invulnerability -7
and he was MUTE as a weakness
so..I called him Spitter and he lasted 1/2 the game... The gamemaster hated the concept, which he rolled up but thats life..ya know

I agree with Nemo.  His method of allowing a minimum of 4 powers is a good alternative, too.

One thing I will do (as GM) is when a person gets very little powers, I tend to go very light on the weakness.  For instance, using the example above, I would make that:

Mute: The character tends to be the stoic, quiet type, and is not prone to talk much or ramble on.

But I agree, the random method is awesome, but the occasional character has to be thrown out when you get results that are too wacky.
