Broad Skills Option and Skill Points

[Reaper]

It seems that the broad skills are being calculated incorrectly at the moment. Currently, they are being calculated at 1PP per 4 Ranks, like the corebook skill rules, however, the option in the Mastermind Manual states that it changes to 1PP for 1 rank.

Is there anyway I can change this in my system while I wait for an update to come out? If so, could you give a quite overview on how to do this?

Cheers,

This seems to be working fine here. If I create a new hero, select Broad Skills, and add 4 ranks of Athletics, my hero now costs 4 PP. Are you experiencing different behaviour?

[Reaper]

It seems I am. I start a new character, select broad skills, add 4 points to athletics and end up with 16 ranks in that skill.

Oh, I see - so when you increase it 4 times, it should give you a +4 for 4 points, not a +16 for 4 points... oops!

I'll get this fixed in the next version - thanks for the report

Just curious as to when the next update was coming out to fix this issue

We've been snowed under with stuff for the last few weeks, with product releases and Gen Con preparation. Stuff is starting to clear up now - I want to get a new release out before Gen Con. Sorry for the longer-than-usual delay.

I've just downloaded the recent update for M&M and noticed the broad skills issue is still a problem. Would I be correct in assuming that the recent update was only to make the M&M file set compatible with HeroLab 3.3 and didn't contain any rule updates?
