AOJ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Say i have an Absorbtion power at (+1 affects up to 4 powers in a special effect).I have an elemental control that has 4 powers in it. 1 increased strength 2 Flight 3 force field 4 force wall .I know you must increase the elemental control and the slots but does the framework "Elemental Control" count as a "Power" for the affects up to 4 powers in a special effect or do i need to take the (+2 affect all powers of a special effect)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 To me, each power in the EC is a separate power, so the Absorption could enhance all four powers, but that would be its "four powers in a special effect". It could not increase those four as a single power, then increase three others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think he's asking if the EC itself counts as a slot. 30 pts EC: Rainbow powers Slot one: 12D6 Flash -- Rainbow pattern Slot two: 12D6 EB -- Concentrated rainbow Slot three: 24/24 Force Field, costs End to activate -- Shimmering rainbow field Slot four: 25" Flight x8 -- Rainbow road So if he's going to use an adjustment power, does he need to bump up 4 powers, or 5 (one for the EC)?

Hugh Neilson Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Here again, I would say that each power in the EC is a power, but the EC itself is not. So Absorbing 10 points would add 10 AP to each of the slots (14d6 Flash, 14d6 EB, 28/28 Force Field and 30" flight). The EC itself is not a power - it is a framework.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I would build that with the advantage on it to add to a group of powers, treating the whole EC and its pool as a set of powers (+1/2 to the absorb, I think?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christougher Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 The problem with absorbing to the EC as well is that you're doubling the absorption. So IMO best answer is Hugh's - you don't absorb to the EC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
