Hi
i apologize if someone already asked this, but i can't find it...
Let's assume i got a mentalist; he got SPD 3 (phase: 4, 8, 12) but he got a "+3 SPD; Only for Mental Power's use (-1)"; so he go a total of 6 SPD (phase: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 whenever he use mental powers)
this means he can do any type of action during 4, 8 and 12 but he can use only mental powers during 2, 6, 10.
Now, let's assume i got a mentalist with 3 SPD but just a "+2 SPD; Only for Mental Power's use (-1)". He got a total of 5 SPD (phase 3, 5, 8, 10, 12).
He can still do anything during segment 8 and 12... but what about the other segments?
a) he can use only Mental Power during segments 3, 5, 10 because of optional speed change rule at 6E2 17
(extra speed count as he incresed his speed just to make mental actions); so he got only 2 phase to do anything he whant but he got 3 phase to do only mental power use
b) he can use only Mental Power during segments 3, 5 and 10 for same reason; however, if he hold an action from segment 3 to segment 4, he can still do anything else in segment 4
(he can act in phase 3 only to use Mental Power for the limitations, but he does'nt lose his ability to act in segment 4 for anything else than Mental Power use)
c) he can use only Mental Powers during segments 3 and 10; he can freely act in segment 5. This count as a mandatory "hold an action" from segment 4 to segment 5 as a trade off for using limited speed (and 'cause i'm the GM and i state it)
d) he can act at phase 4, 8 and 12 for any action and 5 and 10 for Mental Powers only.
I looked at Menton on CKC (5 edition) who got SPD 5 with +4 "only to use mental/telekynetics powers" and in the power description says "he got extra phase at 2, 6, 7 and 11" so i can assume correct answer is "d"? or there are something "official" in some 6E book i don't have (yet)? or maybe just i missed something in 6E1 or 6E2?
