Questions about proposed changes

The whole PL/CL thing seems pretty ... maybe not confusing, but needless.

Like, okay. I build PL. I get PL, and at the same time I also get CL. Alright.

Or I buy techs. And items. Which increase my CL. So even though IC I'm less "DBZ", I'm still strong in a fight against a person with a higher power-level.

In essence, CL is the measure of how effective your character is in combat. Or that's what it seems like.

...

In other words, it's exactly what CA is supposed to be under the current system. Some people currently roleplay as super DBZ characters with high power level, some as wily tech-mongers with a swiss army knife of abilities, and others as, say, cooks with psychic powaz... But it's all covered by CA.

I don't think PL/CL is even necessary, unless it's explicitly there to make people think 'o hai this iz doragoon baur!'

Then again ... I guess it would be nice to be able to actually see my character's power level, since I actually haven't been able to do any kind of judging on that score since staff decided CA != PL (one of the big reasons why I stopped RPing).
