[PnP] Powers and Perils Rights

[Sylverrs_ dragon]

    I anticipated having a great deal of help from you and the other regular 
commenters on this list. I want the finished product to be as close to 
perfect as it can be. That is not something I can do unaided. Its current 
state is certain proof of that fact. Creative input, editting and questions 
where certain elements as written are unclear will be essential to 
completing the job right.
