Superpowers
From Missoula Roleplayer's Club - Wiki
The superpowers system in Heroes: St. Louis is set up in a tier format. Before you can purchase superpowers, you must purchase the pre-requisite Super Attribute. Characters endowed with a Super Attribute can spend essence to increase one of their Attributes. Players must spend 1 essence for each point the attribute is increased, to a maximum of their Super Attribute level. The increase lasts for 1 hour or until it is deactivated.
