So this set would be based on a new system that would have to be implemented, so it probably would never happen, but I figure if it gets enough support maybe something could be worked out. If the system was created by some miracle, I'm wondering if you all think the set would be underpowered or overpowered (more likely imo).
As far as the Hero/Vigilante/Villain/Rogue balance would go, I tried to make it relatively even, with hero/vig being more of a "I'll jump in and protect you" aura, with villains/rogues having a "I'm out for myself only" feel. And in pvp, if this is unfair, vigs and rogues can go blue OR red side, so it would be balanced.
These stats are based on a Scrapper/Stalker/Brute level, and tanks would obviously have higher stats. Some of the names/descriptions need work. I originally wanted to base this on the 6 Pillars of Character, but developed it into virtues as a whole.
