Artifact Powers
Powers don't define a hero¸ but in the case of superheroes they certainly don't hurt! The Cypher System offers a tremendous amount of flexibility in building a good superheroic character¸ but sometimes we may need a bit more flexibility in power selections. It's not uncommon to have a great character concept that the descriptor¸ focus¸ and type can make but it's still missing something.
For example¸ maybe we want our Tough Warrior who Performs Feats of Strength to be able to fly or shoot power blasts from her fists (or both!)¸ or maybe we want our Intelligent Explorer who Moves Like a Cat to be able to scale walls.
By treating individual powers as artifacts¸ we can tinker with a character's power set and customize him or her even further.
