Multiform and EC

[Willpower]

I just noticed in my Hero Designer, that it has no problem putting a Multiform into an EC. I looked at the rules, and it says that Multiform is a Standard Power. So I cannot think of a reason this would not work. Originally, on the character I am working on, the power we used was duplication, but under 5th Edition rules, you can't use Duplication in the way we were using it, and it says to use multiform instead.

 

Is there anything wrong with my thinking on this?

Multiform doesn't cost END, so doesn't belong in an EC?

 

As much respect as I have for HD, I don't think it's intended to replace the GM as the interpreter of the rules.

Good point. I wasn't meaning for HD to override a GM's decisionmaking. I just wasn't sure if there was a reason Multiform should or should not be allowed in a Power Framework. Though there is the option to add an Endurance cost to Multiform, but I believe the rule keeping powers that don't cost End from being placed in a Framework, still keeps out powers bought with costs Endurance, or am I wrong here?

 

PS, normally I am a real GURU for the Hero System normally. I just haven't played or ran it in over a year, and before that brief stint it was about as long or longer since, so I am pretty rusty.

 

I do have another question, I forgot to ask about Multiform though, but it is a slightly different topic so I am going to start a different thread for it.

I believe a power that costs no END by default can be added to an EC if purchased with Costs END.

Another note: Only ECs have the END restriction, not Frameworks at large.
