Naked Advantage

[Foxiekins]

When I try to set up a Naked Advantage I can select advantages, note the active points they apply to, and note what they apply to, but when the ability is finished it always has a zero active point cost, zero real cost, and zero END cost...  Has anyone else had this happen...?  I'm using Build 20120316

Sounds like you’re applying Advantages and Limitations to the Naked Advantage and never actually selecting the Naked Advantage itself.

This is a hypothetical naked advantage.  Body Shield would be the name for a Resistant Protection that presumably is greater than 5/5, so the idea here is only part of it would be hardened.  Also, Body Shield itself would normally be inobvious, and this makes it obvious when it's active.  

 

So there's 2 required aspects:

1.  Max Base Cost

2.  The naked advantages;  sometimes there are several. 

 

There are 2 optional ones:  the other modifiers, which ONLY apply to the naked advantage and not to the underlying power (I personally have a High Scale advantage for movement powers, and may well slap 0 END to that part.)  And the Applies To is descriptive only.

There are 2 possibilities.  #1, you're not setting Max Base Cost.  #2, you're only using Add Modifiers, when what you need to add Naked Modifiers to have something to be modified by Add Modifiers.  The Naked Mods are those that are applied to the base power;  the Add Mods apply to the Naked Mods.

This was exactly the info I needed...  I was only clicking Add Mods...  Thanks...

Exactly what I was doing...  First time I'd ever set up a Naked Advantage before...  Thank you...
