Assume a character has a multipower or a VPP. He puts "Variable Limitation" on the frameowrk (MPO base or VPP control cost), say at -1/2. Each power must now have -1 limitations.
The character could choose to have each power able to change its limitations at will - ie the same Variable Limitations. Can he instead define one or more slots as having -1 of "fixed" limitations? Eg. a 10d6 Energy Blast which requires Gestures, Incantations and Requires a Skill Roll every time, thus satisfying the requirement that each power in the framework have -1 of these limitations?
Assuming he can, would he then compute the cost of that power as 25 real points (50 /2) because the limits on this specific power are fixed?
Adding to the above, I'm assuming the VPP is not changeable at will. At a minimum, a skill roll and/or some time is required. In a Cosmic VPP, it seems to me that all limitations would be Variable, ince the character can change the power (including its limitations) at will anyway.
