Needing Advice on Game Setting

[Limeydragon]

So i'm currently working on a campaign setting where everyone is a mutant animal. (no humans) I like some of the lfuff about animals having powers and after doing some diggin came across rules for it in the TMNT Adventures book. It states "Give them 50 extra BIO-E points that must got towards the purchase of ONE superpower." and of course you can use personal BIO-E as well to go over the 50 points. I was thinking of using the same rules for psionics as well.? good/bad?

My big thing is i'm trying to find away to balance it out for non-psi/power characters. Do i limit the background of psi/power characters, or something else.?

If you're worried about balancing the non-powered against the powered, then either give everyone the 50 extra BIO-E, or don't give it to anyone. Then those who prioritize powers/psionics will have less other stuff. Those who ignore powers/psionics will have more other stuff. Balance maintained.

Hmm, guess i'll just leave well enough alone and not use them at all. Less of a disruption that way.

If you want to keep things a little calmer on the powers front, Transdimensional Turtles has rules for powers for humans listed on p14-16 and for hominidons on p 16-17. They could be available to mutant animals.

And if ever you want to "weird it up" a bit more, you can add in the Eugenic Animal Mutants (Mutant Underground, p25).
Adding that in after your build can make for some truly strange mutations, chimera, hybrids, etc.
