Continuing Charges

[Sylvan Phoenix]

I seem to be having trouble getting continuing charges to add up properly. The behavior seems fine until the continuing charge comes up to +0 value. If I increase the duration of the continuing charges higher the value never rises above +0. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

I'm using HD2, build 2.41 (and I also tried the latest 2.42 interim build)

Cheers,

It seems to do that only on powers that don't normally cost END. On an END-using power, it easily became +6 (total) Advantage.

But, there seems to be something a bit wonky about the number of clips:

1. Give a zero-END Power Charges (like Armor).
2. Set # of charges to 16,000. (total value still reads as +0)
3. Select "Continuing" (leave at the base level).

The Clips line reads 4 clips (which would be correct if and when it was selected).

4. Make it Continue for 1 Century.
5. The minimum clips you can choose is now 1073741824!

6. And if you actully select it, the number *almost* doubles to 2147483647.

Using HD 2.41.

All part of the rules.

Charges maxes out at +0 for a non-END-using Power.

Charges maxes out (despite what Stevezilla says) at +1 for an END-using Power.

You can add on things like Boostable to push the Modifier over that maximum.

Well, we were talking about Continuing charges, and that is what I was referring to, not plain charges.

But that doesn't explain why the number of clips goes through the roof. Shouldn't it always start at 2 clips (or 4 if it becomes, or already is, an advantage)?

Clips works fine in all but the extreme cases (which i am working on).

I highly doubt that you actually need to purchase Clips of 16,000 Charges lasting 1 Century each.

I see. So that's properly behavior then. I guess I need to go back and read the rules again. Thanks!

The number of clips bit when purchasing 16000 Charges Lasting 1 Century each should be fixed in the current interim build.
