Drain vs elemental control with power defense - Follow-up x2

[SteveZilla]

2. The effects of each application of the negative Adjustment Power would be halved. The halving takes place after defenses are applied. Since the halving rounds in the character’s favor' date=' that means 2 points each off the effects, thus for a total of 4 points of effect lost from each power.[/quote']

 

That would be 3 points off of each 5 point effect, to get a total of four afterwards.

 

That last sentence threw me. Did you mean each power and every power in the EC, or just each *defensive* power?

 

I.e., Elemental Lad has the following legal (IIRC) framework:

 

30 Elemental Control (60 point powers)

30 Energy Blast 12D6

30 Flight 30"

30 Force Field +30 PD/+30 ED

 

Given the 15 pt effect of a Drain, and his 10 points of Power Defense (5 gets though), which is correct:

 

1. Flight and Energy Blast loose 10 (5+5), and the Force Field looses 4 (2+2).

2. All three loose 4 (2+2).

3. Flight and Energy Blast loose 7 (5+2), and Force Field looses 4 (2+2).

 

Hope I'm not , Steve.

Yes, of course the halving only applies to defensive powers.
