Organisations and Groups

Creating and running a group is much handled like creating and running a character.
(And so players aren't required to spend 40 hours a week for bookkeeping of their characters organisation)

But there are of course some differences. First groups don't have abilityscores. Second, they have no real skills.
This might not sound very much alike so far. But groups do have 3 skill like attributes, which even have specialisations.
Those values all start at 0 and have to be increased by players using their XP. When a player joins for the first time, it counts like he would also donate 1 XP.
Each player can choose when and how much of his XP he wants to use to increase a certain skill like value.
As soon as players have donated enough XP for one value to increase this will happen. (Players canspent their XP on different values or all on the same, as they want, so it might happen that you have to keep track of XP invested on different aspects.)

The size of an organisation can grant a multiplier to the XP used.
If one or more of the players run the organisation every XP counts as just 1XP in regard to increasing the skill like values.
If the characters have one boss each XP they use to increase vaues counts double.
If the characters don't just have a boss, but that boss also has a boss, and there are many more employees on the same level as the characters each XP they use counts as 5.
If the characters are so low in the hierarchy of the organisation that they can't even make use of the advantages the skill like values give all XP they donate count as 10.

Now that you know how to increase the skill like values of a group, it is time to introduce what skill like values you can get and what specialisations are possible.
Folowing are the skill like values, the specialisations and short tables for all specialisations telling you what certain skill values actually mean.

Power

Power determines how much influence the group has in certain aspects of life.
Possible specialisations are:

Criminal

Financial

Governmental

Supers

Criminal:

Skillvalue	Meaning
>0	The group is known to some criminals, who would be willing to pass on informations....for a fee
>5	The group has lots of criminal contacts and can buy all kind of illegal services or goods
>10	The group can now hire any sort of specialist (safecrackers, forgers, hitmen...) or might already have those on their payroll
>15	The group has a small army of thugs, and are involved in a lot of illegal activity.
>20	The criminal influence covers at least one nation but more likely international. As a result the army of thugs is no longer small

Financial:

Skillvalue	Meaning
>0	The group has barely enough money for it's basics need. It can't pay it's employees more than minimum wage...if even that.
>5	The group has enough income to pay it's members a regular salary. It can afford to pay a few thousand dollars each month for unexpected purchases
>10	The group can pay good salaries, has probably assets worth a few millions and can spent over 100,000$ each month for unplanned purposes.
>15	The group has money like a major corporation (or might be one) It can pay huge salaries for hundredsof members and each month it has millions available for unplanned purchases

>15	The group can actual perform arrests and if justified is allowed to use deadly force.
>20	The group actually runs the government, either openly or behind the scenes

Supers:

Skillvalue	Meaning
>0	The group has some contact to some of the weaker metahumans, but isn't in posession of much actual power.
>5	The group has contact wih more supers and knows where to go to buy gadgets, and might already have a small collection.
>10	The group has actually some Metahumans on it's payroll and at least contact to some being of the Superhuman level

>20	The group has a huge army of Metahumans and at least half a dozen members of the experienced Superhuman level

Quarters

The skill like value for Quarters tell how and where the group lives.

>10	The group has one Headquarter at current size value and as many as Location value of one size category smaller. And three times location value offices at 2 size categories smaller
>15	The group has Location Value Headquarters at full size and twice as many for one category lower
