Powers
[PWRS]
Powers & Abilities, the bread and butter to what makes Metas unique! These powers range from Active, Passive, Non-Combat, Defensive, and Offensive. This isn't even including the variety of Elements that they are thanks to the items that each Meta gets at their creation. Each power has a variety of different variables that make it up. The powers range from Level 1 at the lowest to Level 10 at the highest. A rough sample of what powers can do by level can be seen below.

The list is seen below.
Buff Limitations: Maximum of 2 Self-Only, Non-Conditional Buffs per Attack, Defend, and Movement; 1 Buff provided from another persons Meta (not your own). This includes Racial Powers.
Buffing another Active Combat power can only be done to another Meta.

Power Duration
[APWRD]
Active powers can have a limit to how long they can either stay active or stay as an active damage over time [a DoT]. If your power is going to be a Damage over Time based power or you want the option for that, you can either do the damage you have rolled, or go for 3/4ths, 1/2, or 1/4th of the damage of the initial roll depending on what you're going for. This is power to power and is a variable that depends on the meta and power kit.
Below are the maximum ranges for Active Powers.
You must use the numbers below or get approval by That One Halfling to accept variations of the numbers.

Passive Powers
[PAPWR]
Increased Agility, Bones like Steel, Adamantine Frame, Enhanced Senses, Featherfoot, Reality Perception and more are Passive powers. Abilities that give bonuses for things that just are always there, always on, always going. These powers may require rolls depending on what the power is - sometimes [ex. Reality Perception, Enhanced Senses] it’s to see if you hit the required number to see something, more so if it’s masked by another power [in a way, you’re contesting this power when you use a power like this and use it to roll.]. Many passive powers do not require rolls, but, like Active Powers, have a dice pool as seen below.
These powers, like Active Powers, can and usually will also have limitations on them, from ranges, flat additional bonuses, and duration.

Power Duration

Passive Powers, much like the Active Powers, can have a duration limit on how long they can remain up, remain active if you’d like to add a limitation factor to your power depending on the strength of what you’re doing and if it has a pre-set designation for how many times a day you can use the power.

Power Samples
[PWRSM]
Below are some Sample Powers of what one can do with powers, as you can see, powers are set up to be as simplistic as possible without limiting your own creativity when actually typing out what the power is attempting todo [aside from it's own level limitations], making it so you can play more with what your Meta is doing.
Elemental List
[ELMNT]
Powers, like Metas, come in many shapes, forms and types. These are known as Elements! Some powers don't have them and some end up making elements of their own in a way when something just doesn't quite fit in line with one or another [see Technology element]. If no element applies, then a simple N/A can be put into place. The list below will be constantly evolving as more and more elements end up cropping up if some have been missed or if something ends up showing up that we didn't think of!
List of Elements, Last Updated 12/7/16
Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Darkness, Light, Electricity/Lightning, Ice/Cold, Weather, Aether, Cosmic/Space, Gravity, Technology, Blood, Poison/Venom, Disease/Bacteria, Chaos, Order, Emotional, Psychic/Mental, Physical (Bludgeoning), Physical (Slashing), Physical (Piercing), Time*
*This Element is extremely Rare and cannot have an entire Meta dedicated to it. Time is a very finicky thing to deal with in our system. To have a Time based power requires approval from That One Halfling, Broken_Illumination, and Midnightspirit

Resistances
[RSIST]
Resistances, like your Base Defense, are a flat number that go up by stage and must be Resistances of the elements listed above. There is a hard limit to how many each Meta gets; Toddlers get 1, Children 1, Teens 2, Adults 3, and Elders 4.
The only resistance(s) that grant you Conditional Immunity are Disease/Bacteria as you become Immune to Physical Diseases. If someone has a Power that actively deals "Disease Damage", you must still take damage, but use the Resistance Level of your current stage.
Below is the list of Resistances that can be added to your Base Defense against the Elements you are Resistant to.
Toddler: 4
Child: 7
Teen: 11
Adult: 14
Elder: 17
Weaknesses
[WKNS]
Weaknesses, unlike resistances, are flat numbers you subtract from your Base Defense and, if there's any left over after the Base Defense is used up, you take that as additional damage. These numbers go up by how severe you want the Weakness to be, and do not have to be from the elemental list but it is highly suggested. If you want to have a character to take specific negatives to specific rolls you can! Just be careful on what you want to label as a Weakness and what should be labeled as a Character Flaw.
There is currently no maximum limit to how many weaknesses you should have, but the fewer you have the more devastating they should be to your Meta.
Below is the list of the Weakness Ranges (and words to use) and the corresponding numbers.
