Linked powers?

[VictorVonDoom]

Can i link any power?
Do linked power power each other?
Do linked powers work with each other?
Do linked powers boost each other?
Can MP powers be linked with eachothers?


please use examples to explain yourself others then the manual's.

Let's say, for example, you had a 10d6 Flash Linked to a 10d6 Energy Blast, the special effect being bright light. The Powers list would look like this:

Bright Light: 10d6 Energy Blast

Bright Light: 10d6 Flash, Linked to 10d6 Energy Blast (-1/2).

In this case, you could use the 10d6 Energy Blast by itself, or you could use the 10d6 Flash along with it. If you did this:

Bright Light: 10d6 Energy Blast, Linked to 10d6 Flash (-1/4)

Bright Light: 10d6 Flash, Linked to 10d6 Energy Blast (-1/2).

the two Powers have to be used together; you couldn't use either of them without the other.

The rules don't say anything about whether one powers or boosts the other. I believe it specifically states whether you can link Multipower slots together; I believe the answer to that is no. You can link an external Power to a Multipower slot, however.

Does this help?

You'd just buy the Powers with the Linked Limitation.

You don't necessarily need the Linked Limitation to be able to use two Powers together, by the way.

why?

There are rules for attacking with two powers at the same time. It's called a Multiple Power Attack.

Normally, you have the choice to attack with two powers at the same time. Linking forces you to always use two powers at the same time.
