But, Chubbs has historically diverged from DBZ on points considered necessary for the proper functioning of the RPG as a whole. To this end, for example, humans were set up to be just as capable of success and power as saiya-jin (despite this being completely contrary to the hierarchy presented in DBZ, after say the Raditz saga).
EDIT2: Hell, diminishing returns is another example. There's no real expression of diminishing returns anywhere in the chubbs universe; PLs skyrocket as sagas go past.
Yes Chubbs diverges from DBZ, but people have been complaining about flavor and as it is we are moving even further away. Not only that but PL is what determines the strength, speed, defense, and KI available to someone based on the stat system.
Characters with high PL are going to be so fast and strong that those who don't increase their PL but instead purchase items and techniques are going to be sitting ducks.
It doesn't matter if you have 10 variations of the Kamehameha if your opponent is so fast that you can't even see him, or you can't put enough power behind your technique because your PL is pathetic to actually hurt someone.
