Side Effects Calculations

[concord]

Referring to the Side Effects table, 6E1 pg 394

 

- Minor Side Effect: +1/4 Limitation

- Side Effect occurs automatically whenever power is used (or is bought for a power which always works): x2 value

- Side Effect does a predefined amount of damage (unless waived by the GM): 1/4 less Limitation

 

Which of the following is correctly calculated for a Power with Minor Side Effect, Side Effect occurs automatically whenever power is used (or is bought for a power which always works), Side Effect does a predefined amount of damage (unless waived by the GM)

 

1. (+1/4 x 2) - 1/4 = +1/4 limitation

 

2. (+1/4 -1/4) x 2 = +0 Limitation

Re: Side Effects Calculations

 

You start with a Minor Side Effect, -1/4. Then you apply the reduction of 1/4 less Limitation, to -0. Then you apply the multiplier; -0 x 2 = -0... subject, as always, to GM approval.
