Multipower limitations

[Blue]

Just trying to get something clear in my head. Admittedly this is a sort of newbie question but then I've rarely ever used multipowers, favoring ECs and Pools.

If every slot in a multipower has a 14- activation roll, is it acceptable to give that limitation to the MP point pool as well? Or does doing so require the player to roll 2 activations--one on the pool and one on the slots? Or is it simply impossible to put a limitation on the pool at all?

At times like these I need a copy of the book at work so I can use it during these lunchtime character sessions. Thanks for any help.

I believe any limitation that applies to all slots also applies to the pool. One activation roll does it. [That's certainly the way I would run it.]

The biggest advantage of MP over VPP is the ability to reduce the pool cost.

Thanks. That's how I've always done ECs. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't violating something.
