Steve,

The only question about this I could find was



Q: If a character applies the Standard Effect Rule to a power, can he switch back and forth between the “standard” effect and the rolled effect?

A: No, he can only use it as a standard effect.


My question was more along the lines of a power that is half Standard effect and the other half rolled

another way to write it would have been

75 15d6 EB
+75 +15d6 EB Standard effect

I should've pointed out that it was part of another question:


Q: How does the Standard Effect Rule apply to HA and HKA (which involve adding STR), or to odd dice values like 1/2d6 or +1 pip of damage? How about situations where the SER only applies to part of the dice involved?

A: If the Standard Effect Rule is applied to all of an HA or HKA, it applies to any STR added to the power as well. If the SER only applies to part of the power (say, half the dice, such as an HKA 4d6 defined as 2d6+6), maintain the ratio — determine the total dice (from Power + STR), and apply the SER to the same portion of the STR as the Power. Of course, the GM is free to alter this approach if it doesn’t make sense for a particular character, or if Limitations (such as No STR Bonus) are applied to some of the dice.

A half die would count as +1 point for the Standard Effect Rule. A +1 pip likewise counts as +1 point (or, if the GM prefers, as +0 points). Just add that final one point to the total of the attack based on the dice.

I should also point out that 5E 72 specifically discusses applying the SER to only part of an attack.
