Do you think its a real disavantage to take extratime on a persistant power that don't have endurance cost ?
Because i design a martial artist who is master of acuponcture and pressure points. This guy could with this power can add to his body, constitution, dexterite charastistique... with disavantage extra time ans my master said its not a real disavantage because this power is on all the time.
Are you agree ? (sorry for my poor english)

No worries, your English seems fine to me. ;)

Extra Time is a valid Limitation for Persistent Powers, unless the GM rules otherwise. The main issue is whether the power is one that's likely to be used in combat. If the power is one that a character could turn on out of combat and then maintain all day without effort (such as Damage Reduction or Mental Defense), then Extra Time may not actually restrict him at all, which reduces the value of the Limitation to -0. On the other hand, if this power is one a character tends to activate only in combat, then Extra Time still restricts him and is a legitimate Limitation.
