Multiform & bases

[garou]

Okay, quick, possibly silly question on Multiform and bases (not bases with multiform):

 

Hypothetical group has 5 members, at least one of which has multiform. They build a base that has a real cost of (say) 50 points, and they decide to all pay equally for it.

 

Question 1: Does the Multiform character only have to pay 10 points total, but ensure that all forms pay something (if they wish to access the base in all forms*).

 

Question 2: If, for some reason, Multiform character pays 10 points in each form (main and alternate), then does it count as a contribution of 20 points, or only as 10?

 

* Per FReD, 211 it says that a GM should require the alt forms to buy in to the resource, but it does not say equally nor say that the points from each form are not counted toward the total group contribution.

Re: Multiform & bases

 

1. Every form that wants access to the Base has to pay its fair 10 point share of the cost.

 

2. The contribution of all forms only counts once, not multiple times — the other forms’ paying their fair share of the cost doesn’t increase the amount of points the resource is built with, it simply “confirms” the base form’s contribution and allows them standard access to it, so to speak. In your example all the forms’ contributions add 10 points for building the Base, not 20.
