For when the power works agaisnt a more restrictive type of the normal attack, IE Force Fields instead of ED

Errr...that's not how I read the rules:
<blockquote>
The cost of AVLD varies depending upon what defense the Power would ordinarily work against. If the Power ordinarily applies to regular defenses such as PD, ED, Armor, <i>or a PD or ED Force Field</i>, then AVLD is worth +1 1/2. However, if the Power ordinarily applies to an exotic defense (such as Mental Defense, Flash Defense, or Power Defense), then using AVLD to switch it to another exotic defense is only a +3/4 Advantage. Furthermore, AVLD only costs +3/4 if the defense against it is extraordinarily common (moreso than the defense ordinarily applied against the Power) or is simply a limited form of the Power's standard defense.
</blockquote>

Based on that definition, I think that the two options currently available in HD suffice.

It works, with a work around (using the version for PowD, etc...).

However what I am refering to is the last sentance of your quote, especialy the part I have Ittalisised (sp)

"Furthermore, AVLD only costs +3/4 if the defense against it is extraordinarily common (moreso than the defense ordinarily applied against the Power) or is simply a limited form of the Power's standard defense"

I'd say (to keep things simple) that you should just use the second option (as you have been) and change the text, since you need to do that anyway.

If you really want, you can edit the template to insert a third option. I don't want to do that by default, however, as I feel that it will needlessly complicate things for the majority of users.
