Boostable Charges

[The Main Man]

In the 5er corebook, page 285, the text says, "A character can spend no more than four charges (+4 DC/+20 Active Points) per power per Phase this way."

 

I've always treated this as being like Haymaker for Charges in certain ways, but I got to wondering if a player can Boost 4 Charges in one phase, then Boost for another 4 Charges in their next phase, and on and on until satisfied before they actually attack.

 

For example, if I have an EB 8d6, can I use 4 Charges to make that 12 DC's and then on my next Phase use another 4 Charges to make that attack 16 DC's and then attack?

Re: Boostable Charges

 

Good Lord, no. You can get one Boost of up to 4 Charges, and that's it. You can't "stack" 'em.

 

However, I expect if you'd tried that in Dave Mattingly's "Build-And-Brawl" event at GenCon, you would at least get an A for Creativity in Potential Munchkinry.
