Powers with limited Advantages in ECs

[Vanderbilt_Grad]

Question on partially limited advantages in Elemental Controls:

 

Bob has three 40 point powers (Energy Blast, Force Field, and Flight) that he wants to put in an Elemental Control.

 

Normally this would look like:

 

20 EC: Bob Powers

20a EB (8d6)

20b Flight (20â€)

20c Force Field (20, 20)

 

However Bob also has a staff (OAF) that makes it easier to use his powers. Normally he gets tired fast when fighting but when he has his staff he is like the energizer bunny. Keeps going and …. Anyway in game terms all of Bob’s powers are 0 End, but only when he has his OAF staff. Bob has bought each power individually like this before putting them in the EC:

 

45 EB (8d6) 0 End [OAF] (50 active & 45 real points)

45 Flight (20â€) 0 End [OAF] (50 active & 45 real points)

45 Force Field (20, 20) 0 End [OAF] (50 active & 45 real points)

 

Question #1 what would the point values in the EC be? Is the following correct?

 

22 EC: Bob Powers

23a EB (8d6) 0 End [OAF]

23b Flight (20â€) 0 End [OAF]

23c Force Field (20, 20) 0 End [OAF]

 

Question #2 how does it work if only the EB is bought 0 End [OAF] and the other powers have no advantages or limitations? I.E. before putting the EC together Bob has:

 

45 EB (8d6) 0 End [OAF] (50 active & 45 real points)

40 Flight (20â€)

40 Force Field (20, 20)

 

As far as I can tell most of the EC would look like this:

 

20 EC: Bob Powers

??a EB (8d6) 0 End [OAF]

20b Flight (20â€)

20c Force Field (20, 20)

 

But how much would slot ‘a’ cost?

What you're describing is three naked Power Advantages, one for each slot in the EC, bought through an OAF. The naked Advantages have no effect on the EC's cost. See the Rules FAQ under "Advantages, General" for more info re: naked Advantages, both in general and with respect to Frameworks.
