Duplication and Feedback

[Blue Angel]

Does the feedback disadvantage only affect stun and body.

What about other powers:

1) Adjustment powers such as drains. If you drain one do you drain them all?

2) Adjustment powers such as aid and healing. If you heal one do you heal them all?

3) Mental powers such as mind control. If you mind control one do you mind control them all?

If the power was to represent a character that was in more than one place at the same time it would seem that the answer to some or all of this would be yes.

Maybe it is just a big can-o-worms. :eek:

Thanks

Actually, it's a pretty good question. I'm surprised it hasn't come up before.

Feedback applies to STUN and BODY damage from any source, including things like Drains and Ego Attacks. However, it is a Limitation, and therefore has no effect whatsoever on beneficial abilities like Aid or Healing. Nor does it extend to non-damage-related effects like Mind Control.

If a character whose Duplication has the Feedback Limitation wants that Limitation to apply to beneficial effects like Aid and Healing, he can obtain that ability by reducing the cost of the Limitation by 1 (this may have the effect of converting the Limitation into an Advantage). If he wants the Feedback to extend to Mental Powers like Mind Control and other such non-damaging but potentially harmful attacks, he can increase the value of the Limitation by 1/2.
