Tech Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 On the subject of AP more than once, it's not particularly munchkiny. The 5th ED makes it clear it's ok to try to purchase more than one level of AP to get past the 1st level of Hardened Defense. Regarding the cost of Hard. Def (+1/4) vs AP (+1/2 or +1 for APx2), I do see a considerable and unweighty amount of pts having to be paid to get past Hard. Def. just to halve the defenses. Why not simply buy more of your power for the points you would have spent with that +1 Advantage? Mind you, I do have a couple villains with a APx2 but even those are on charges to reduce the awful +1 cost. Example 1: 8d6 EB APx2 = 80 pts 16d6 EB = 80 pts What's going to cause more damage? Example 2: 2d6 RKA, APx2 = 60 pts 4d6 RKA = 60 pts Likewise, it's obvious what's going to cause more damage. My only guess is that it is more for concept than anything else. Of course, that 8d6 EB APx2 could be bought with charges but still, you're only halving the defenses, not reducing the defense by 1/4. I certainly understand the complaints of many regarding any more than one level of AP and it's cost. Unless one simply wants more than one level of AP, I might suggest Find Weakness instead.
