Compound VPP Revisited

[Hugh Neilson]

In response to a prior question, you indicated that the following:


If I have a gadget pool VPP of 60 active pts, would the below construct be legal ?

Compound power: Ice Gun-both powers OAF, 16 charges
- 30 (60 active pts.)6d6 Entangle
- 24 (60 active) 6d6 NND(LS: vs. cold)- Linked to Entangle

would not be legal because this is a 120 AP power.

I believe it would be legal to purchase the following (but correct me if I'm wrong):

Ice Gun-both powers OAF, 16 charges
- 30 (60 active pts.)6d6 Entangle
- 30 (60 active) 6d6 NND(LS: vs. cold)

As each power is 60 AP, and the total is equal to the 60 points in the VPP.

THE QUESTION: With both power available in the VPP, can they be used as an MPA? I believe the answer is one of the following:

(a) YES - the powers are all available for use within the constraints of the VPP, and consequently they can be used at the same time.

(b) NO - the maximum active points used in any attack, including a multiple power attack, is limited to the total AP of the VPP.

Thanks

No; see 5ER 358 or the old Rules FAQ.
