Learning about this now. First off how would you show atom control works and how it would be written up?


Second what is the Base + Control have to deal with. I have hero Designer. So I thought I would ask. I cant seem to find the answer on Page 322 through 325.

Just so you know this is how I did a Character. Does it look like its right.

The Base is the total points in the pool. Like a multipower might have a 60 pt pool and all the powers in the MP can be 60 active points or less.
A 60 pt Base VPP can have a max of 60 Active points.
The control cost is the price you pay for being able to alter that 60 pt pool however you want. in a Multipower you pay 1/10 or 1/5 the points per slot; ie

60 pt Multipower
6u Energy blast
12m Force field

total cost: 78pts

VPP
60 pts + 30
any 60 active point power (requ skill roll, 1 phase to change)
Also you can have 60 real points of power. So if you had a gadget pool you could have 2 60pt OAF gadgets. or 6 20pt OAF Gadgets. as long as you don't exceed 60 active points per power or 60 real points per pool you're golden.


I hope I didn't make it more confusing :(

So what happens if you got to 61? If its like a multipower you can't do that right?

You can't have a 61 active point power in a 60 point Variable Power Pool.

A written, this character can only change his VPP powers outside of combat. If he can instantly change his pwoers in combat any way he wants, you might buy him the Cosmic (+2) advantage on his pook control cost.

There are other options as listed in 5thEd
