Is there any other point to prestige other than to spend it on Power level? Otherwise it could just directly affect the power level stat rather than "spending it".
Oooh wait, unless... You use Prestige to buy things (basically, it's XP), and when you buy PL and techs and whatever else, your CL goes up. CL is just a number, we don't use it to buy things or anything, it just reflects the amount of effort we've put into buying things to enchance our character.
Right? And the higher your CL, the more things will cost?
That doesn't sound so bad. It will definetly make things harder, in a good way. Argh I don't really know what I think other than it sounds a little more concrete than XP = Power.

If all of this is true, then count me in almost completely. I'm going to reiterate that I think good writing should be rewarded in some form or fashion, but I do not think it should usurp realism. If a person is thousands of times stronger than someone else, I don't think the meek little newcomer should win, because Josh is exactly right, that takes away the DBZ aspect. But I don't foresee that happening.
The only thing that I'm majorly on the fence about is standardizing custom tech costs. I really like the custom tech system we have now. This kind of goes along with my next question.
I am led to understand, and you may correct me if I'm wrong, that there is a specific "cap" on how much Prestige we must spend to get to the next CL, correct? Or does it automatically increase as we spend? If it is the latter, and we want to, "raise the price" for things as you get higher in CL, then I would suggest raising said "cap." That way, a person who wanted to buy tons of weak techniques to try and spam the system and get up to the next CL still might not get there as quick as someone who bought one strong custom tech and poured the rest into PL.
EDIT: Keep Traits. I like them. 'Efficient' has done wonders to help me pinpoint the combat style of Juno when selecting his custom techs.
EDIT 2: I kind of misunderstood CL, so I edited out my stuff but left it in in case you decided to use a similar method. I understand it now, though, and I still love it.
