I think it'd be pretty cool if you could earn a small number of merits through doing mayhem and safeguard missions.

this is totally awesome, thanks devs!

On another note, I think using Synapse as a weapon should just be a power pool. He's spindly, you don't need to be a brute to wield him effectively (though it probably helps)

Hell, I die all the time, and I lose missions every now and then too. Brutes are slow, brutes recover hp and endurance pretty slowly too. Now that my Brute has some DOs and is level 20 and has some good defense and resistance and stamina and health drains, he's better off. I wouldn't mind if we needed to be nerfed though. I know that sometimes our attacks can get really insane if we just pump inspirations and keep going, but that might be what the peeps want--people who, if they aren't afraid to pop a pill, become gradually stronger and stronger until RAAARR.

I love my brute, he's such fun to RP too -and- he got to punch Synapse. Captain Ghoul kicked his butt all over the place though, but once I get him up to 25 we'll see who has the last laugh!
