PU3 issue...
Rolling random. Where is Evasion found? It's roll 92 under the defensive minors chart, pg 107. It says (New), but I don't even see it in the table of contents.

Re: PU3 issue...
Besides the possibility that it was left out or cut out, perhaps this is the original title of a power in the book which got renamed at the last minute and the chart wasn't updated?
One way would be to find a power that sounds like or functions like what you would expect from 'evade' which is absent from the table.
I thought it might be Sidestep but that's present on the chart...

Re: PU3 issue...
Defensive Will (PU3, p. 9) is notably absent from the table, and it too is a minor power. My guess is that the two are one and the same.

Having the original manuscript to this book [I got to demo it @ one of the Palladium Open Houses a few years ago], I can say without a doubt that "Evasion" got renamed into "Defensive Will".

Re: PU3 issue...
Speaking of errors in this random table under the "Offensive Major Abilities Table," roll #51 reads as follows, "Major Ability of Choice or Two Minor Powers".
That obviously was a mistake. I rolled it once and had to do a double take when creating a character. An example of "copy & paste" at it finest.
Although still better than we Palladium used to type the manuscripts by hand and have all kinds of errors in the early 80s.

How is that an error? It simply is stating that if you roll #51 "You can choose a Major Power of your choosing" or "choose 2 minor abilities".

Re: PU3 issue...
The random table purpose was to help create a random selection of powers. You always had the option to choose the powers you wanted. I don't know why you would choose two minor over 1 major anyways - so basically you are back to square one were you starting before rolling on the table (needing to choose a major power), making the table roll #51 kind of flawed and pointless.
