AdvPlrGd2 - Based On CON questions

[Duane From RI]

The new Advanced Players Guide 2 offers two clarification to Based On Con that have me a little confused.

First - the APG2 clarifies that Mental Powers with Based On Con can be affected by Sense Affecting attacks. However, the only two "senses" in the Mental Group are Mental Awareness and Mind Scan. Question - is the clarification specifically for Mental Awareness and Mind Scan and possibly any Detect built on the premise of the mind that are limited by Based On Con OR is there something I'm missing and Mind Control et al can somehow be affected?

Second - the APG2 clarifies that Mental Powers with Based On Con can affect desolid targets. What would be the appropriate cost for an additional limitation to a Based On Con attack that would not make it work versus desolids?

1. As is discussed elsewhere (e.g. 6E2 8), there are Sense-like aspects to Telepathy, Mind Link, telepathic Mind Control, and so on. These are all potentially subject to Sense-Affecting Powers.

 

2. See 6E1 226 and adapt the similar Limitation there.
