Rank System brain dump

[Super Buu]

As said to Belle through PM, I slightly prefer 5 ranks to 4, from A-E, to maybe put something between the 60 and 20 XP per quarter mark (which I'd say should be what B's description currently is, and then make a new C at the 20 XP mark that's 'middle of the road' and bump the others down). Makes things a little more granular.

I also suggested a +50% increase between ranks instead of the doubling, because whilst 'doubling' is much simpler terminology, it's just too massive a jump between ranks IMO. 50% keeps transformations pretty friggin' significant whilst not trivialising the rank below.

What I like about this system is that it retains character growth and rewards through buying powerups, techs and such, but keeps the most important thing - raw power - nicely in check and balance, whilst at the same time keeping the dynamic power differences that make DBZ interesting. I think the 'eras' thing is a cool idea and should be used (the only way to avoid that planet-buster problem FOREVER would be to remove power progression entirely, and I think that'd be throwing out the baby with the bathwater) just make it very gradual, to last us many years of roleplaying goodness.

tl;dr: Belle's system is p pro.
