STR min, charges and END

[jdounis]

Hello,

 

After reading some posts i got really confused about powers that have charges and the "STR minimum" limitation but also the "STR does not add damage" one, do they cost END to use? What about multiple uses of them in a phase what is their cost in END? Thank you!

Typically weapons built with the STR Minimum Limitation (and related Limitations, such as STR Does Not Add Damage) are built with the Advantage Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2). The END cost for using them then depends on the amount of STR used to wield them, not on the Active Points of the powers used to build the weapon. Ordinarily weapons like this are used in Heroic campaigns, so the END cost is 1 END per 5 STR.

 

In most cases, a character only pays END once for STR in a Phase, no matter how many different ways he uses it in that Phase. However, the main exception to this rule is making attacks. If a character makes multiple STR-based attacks in a Phase (such as a Multiple Attack while wielding weapons), he must pay END for his STR once for each attack.
