How do I...?

[Shirizaan]

Here's my concept. I want my character to have a variety of different attacks, EB, RKA, HKA, etc. But I want to have a power that I can use to boost their potency.

I'm know it can be done with CSL, but I'm looking more for a power... I was wondering if Aid could do this in any way?

Example: I perform my motions to activate this boost and then make my attack, only now the attack does a ton of damage compared to what it did before.

Since this is a "how to" rather than a rules question, I've moved it to the Discussion board so that Herodom Assembled can offer its useful advice on your behalf. :hex:

Aid with the limitation self-only should be perfect for an effect like this.

[caris]

Alternatively, you could buy all the powers as partially limited powers. Buy the powers up to the level you want, and than buy some more dice/levels of effect with some additional Limitations.

Aid (and other adjustment powers) can be bought with advantages that modify how many targets they affect. A +1 advantage will generate an aid that will boost 4 powers simultaneously.

If you want the boost to only boost one power at a time, then just buy an aid with the +1/4 advantage variable effect that allows it to boost any one power of a given special effect.

I'm going to go with caris' suggestion. Aid, while effective, is a little too variable for what I think you're going for. I assume you have some Active Point/DC limits in your campaign - for purposes of this example, I will assume 75AP/15DC - so you have parameters to stay within.

Basic attack: 10d6 HA/EB; a.k.a. 3d6+1 HKA/RKA: whatever Advantages you like that equal +1/2.

Or...

Basic attack: 12d6 HA/EB; a.k.a. 4d6 HKA/RKA: whatever Advantages you like that equal +1/4.

Now, what can you get up to after this? Well, you could go for Armor Piercing, or Find Weakness. :whistle: I like Find Weakness; it's pricy, but worth it. :rockon: If your GM will allow attacks to be above the Campaign Limits, provided they are used sparingly, you could add a handful of dice to the attack with Gestures, Incantations, Increased END Cost, possibly a Side Effect that burst off some Stun or Long Term END. Aid could work for this, but I'd put a Lim on it that it only kicked in once you had reached the level it was set for; i.e., if it gives you another 6 DC, you can't get the bonus when it's only rolled 3 DC. This is, in fact, why I like Partially Limited Powers rather than Aid, if you can pull it off. It can be pricier, and I usually use that as a sell point with GMs over Aid.
