NND or AVLD for STR?

[RockSunner]

I'm trying to define a hero with a 4th-dimensional attack that bypasses most defenses. Here's what I came up with:

 

4-D Poke Inside: NND (+1) not vs. power defense or density or x-dimensional, does body (+1) for up to 30 STR, OIHID (-1/4)

 

The cost is 32 = (20*3 - 20)/(1.25). The END cost is 9.

 

This seems a bit too cost-effective, so I may be doing something wrong. Also, can a naked advantage on STR go in a framework. I notice that Dreadnaught in VV&V has one in his Brick Tricks framework.

Re: NND or AVLD for STR?

 

You're not calculating the cost correctly. Naked Advantages applied to STR must be bought for all of the character's STR (30 in this case), not just applied to the points he paid to increase his STR. So in this case you'd have 30 x 3 = 90 Active Points, minus the base 30 = 60, reduced to 48 by the Limitation.

 

As a standard rule, Naked Advantages are Special Powers and thus cannot be put in Power Frameworks absent the GM's permission, which in the case of your cited example Dreadnought has.
