Breakout rolls; Allocating Frameworks and Levels


randian

Question

Can Frameworks and Levels be allocated on my Phase prior to making a Breakout Roll? I might have, for example, an Overall Level I would like to apply to the Breakout Roll.

 

More generally, can a Breakout Roll be considered a mandatory 0 Phase action? One may normally take 0 Phase actions in any order at the beginning of your Phase. 6E1 says Breakout Rolls "take no time", but does not explicitly deem them a 0 Phase action.

Per 6E1 149, “Starting on the target’s next Phase after being successfully attacked with a continuing-effect Mental Power, he may attempt to break free from the Power. These attempts are subconscious and take no time — whether he succeeds or fails, he may still act in that Phase.”

 

Therefore, as a default rule, a character may not perform any Zero Phase Actions (such as allocating the powers in a Power Framework, or allocating any type of Skill Level), or even Actions that take no time, before making a Breakout Roll. However, the GM may choose to allow this anyway given the way mental powers work in his campaign, the nature of the campaign in general, dramatic sense, or other considerations. Depending on the type of Mental Power involved, he may choose to allow this only if the character devotes some portion of his Action (such as a Half Phase, or even a Full Phase) to making the Breakout Roll. (But of course, the GM shouldn’t allow this if doing so would unfairly interfere with the effects of the Mental Power.)
