Increased Reloading Time on Clips

[Super Squirrel]

Clips on Page 285 of Fifth Revised states, "the affect of buying clips should be added last, after all other modifers". Does this apply to Increased Reloading Time as well as that requires Charges to be bought? If so, how does this effect Clips modifier wise?

 

I'm building a power with 64 Charges (+1/2) with 2 clips (+1/4) and where clips take 20 minutes to change (-1 1/4).

 

Is this a limitation worth -3/4, an advantage worth +1/2, or an advantage worth +3/4?

Re: Increased Reloading Time on Clips

 

It means exactly what it says — Clips apply last. That includes Increased Reloading Time. In your example, you start with +1/2 (64 Charges), alter that to -3/4 via Increased Reloading Time, then reduce that to -1/2 by applying Clips.
