random question, but lets say that a player wants to use a powershe doesn't have ranks in would you allow her to use a destiny point and use the basic power?

A similar question came up in this thread . I wouldn't in my game. I could see my players easily abusing such a house rule.

thanks for sharing that thread. I'm reading it now

Yeah, you need to start that one with "With gm approval, which you are not easily going to get"
