End Reserve Issue, Limitation Issue

[JmOz]

2 things

1) End Reserve is not calculating limitations right (it appears to not be including the recovery for limitations), I think that if you limit the Reserve the recovery automaticaly has the same lim or worse

2) On drop down lims (like Foci) the "name" is not updating with the level (so you get things like IIF as a -1/2)

1) That's the way it's supposed to work. The Modifiers need to be applied to the Reserve and the REC independently. If both the Reserve and the REC have the same Modifiers, then they are treated as the same object for rounding purposes. If they have different Modifiers (as is often the case), then they are treated as individual objects for rounding.

The REC most certainly does <b>not</b> get the same lims as the Reserve automatically. In general, most lims that are applied to a Reserve should affect the Reserve only (not the REC) and vice versa.

2) Are you selecting the item from the drop down, or just typing over the text? It's working fine for me when I select the item.

1) Are you sure? I always thought it was something similar to the way MP handle the Foci Limitation (if that makes sense). understood it is a design thing, and as long as the rounding stays true then not a (serious) problem. Looking in the rules I cna not see anything to support either side (A grey area if you will)

2) Selecting it from the drop down, the "Display" field is not updating the change, I think prior to the last update it was saying "Foci" now it is saying the type (OIF/OAF/etc...), easy enough to change

1) I'm positive. The Limitations that are applied to a Reserve generally should not be applied to the REC and vice versa...they are, in essence two different Powers. <b>IF</b> the same Mods are applied to both the Reserve and the REC, then they are treated as a single Power. This was a royal pain in the arse to code in, so <i>believe me</i> I went over it in great detail with Steve.

2) The Display field on Focus has always simply said "Focus". It has never changed in response to the drop-down, nor should it.

As of version 1.26, if you edit the display field to be something other than "Focus", it will be treated as the name of the Focus and formatted according to the WG. For example: "OIF (widget; -1/2)"

If you leave it as "Focus", it will not be included in the output (again, per the WG).

1) Okay, I think we are seeing the same thing from two angles, either works, so I am dropping it

2) when I make a new power (let's say darkness) and put Focus on it, the lim box pops up and it has the following as defaults Display: IIF; Options: IIF -1/4

[Simon]

1) More or less. The misunderstanding (I believe) is that HD is set to default to Modifiers only applying to the object that they are assigned to (so a Modifier placed on the Reserve does not affect the REC). This is the way it should be, as it is correct in most cases (again, per discussions with Steve -- long ago).

2) I (finally) see what you're talking about....It's a result of the changes I made to fix the Disads. I'll get that fixed for today's build so that it works the way it did before.
