Is it legal to use variable limitations on a multipower if all of the slots have that limitation?
example:
16 Multipower, 20-point reserve (20 active points); all slots Variable Limitations (requires -1/2 worth of limitations; -1/4)
2u EB 4d6 (Var. Lims. -1/2 worth; -1/4)
2u Darkness Sight Group 2" radius (Var Lims. -1/2 worth; -1/4)
In a prior post, you stated it is not possible, but the question was about 'upgrading' the focus limitation, and I was understanding your answer to mean that you cannot have a multipower w/ such as:
16 Multipower, 20-point reserve (20 active points); all slots Variable Limitations (requires -1/2 worth of limitations; -1/4)
2u EB 4d6 (required hands, 2 handed ;-1/2)
2u Darkness Sight Group 2" radius ( 8 charges, -1/2)

Various limitations on multipower pool
Steve, I know a year ago or more I read a published 5 ed. multipower that "-1/2 various limitations (-1/4)" on the pool cost, and took specific -1/2 limitations or 2x -1/4 limitations (or more) on each indiviual slot in said multipower.
So, my question is where was this written (so I can show my gm-- I know it's in a book I own), or affirmation that this is a legal write up.
Thanks,
Nathan
Re: Various limitations on multipower pool
That's generally done for Gadget VPPs, wherein you specify that all gadgets in the Pool have to have at least -1/2 worth of the Focus Limitation (i.e., they have to be OIFs, IAFs, or OAFs). There are many examples; for instance, Dr. Destroyer and a couple other characters in CKC do this.
It is not legal to say "must have -1 worth of Limitations" (or the like), and characters could only get away with doing this sort of thing with some other Limitation if the GM permits it.
