VPP clarification

[Hugh Neilson]

This question appears a few lines down and is reprinted below in red. My question is simply, wouldn't the last limitation be worth -1/4, not -1/2, consistent with "Variable Limitation" being half the modifier of the total limitations which must be applied to the power?

 

Or am I missing something here?

 

OK: I've read the previous "Variable Limitations" thread, and I think I understand, but I'd like to clarify:

 

Given the following example:

VPP: Magic Pool: 60 points

Control Cost: 13 points (Powers can only be changed in

Magical Lab -1/2, Only Magic Powers (Slightly Limited)

-1/4, All Powers Require at least an additional -1/2

Limitation to be determined when power is bought -1/2)

 

Allowing that a GM can rule either for or against such a Limitation for his own campaign, is the final Limitation legal according to the FREd rules?

 

Thanks for your input.

Well, it's a Limited Power, and therefore the GM can set the value wherever the heck he wants. I doubt I'd even allow it as a Pool Limitation at all myself (I'd say, "just take the Limitations on the powers alone"), but to each his own. Assuming the Pool has a relatively limited number of powers whose Limitations are defined and unchangeable, -1/2 might not be out of lines for some games, I s'pose.
