Regeneration Question

[The_GeeK]

What is the correct way to handle the case where the period for the Regen and the Adders (Limbs, Resurrection) are different?

 

For example

Regen (1/Hour) : 8 pts

Heal Limbs & Resurrection (25 pts) taking 1 Day

 

Can the extra time limitation be applied to just the adders?

And, if so, at what level ... 1 Day (-4) or the difference in time values between the Regen and the Adders (-1 in this case)

 

There's the limitation Resurrect Only (-2) ... would the player need to buy Regen (Day) with the Adders in addition to the other Regen (Hour) to use it?

Re: Regeneration Question

 

You can certainly apply a Limitation to a "naked Adder," similar to the way you can with naked Advantages. In this case the simplest thing is just to apply the standard Extra Time value, but if the GM prefers he could certainly have you calculate the "difference" between the normal Regeneration time and the Extra Time to derive a lesser Limitation value the way you suggest.

 

The situation gets trickier when a character only wants a Limitation to work in a restricted way. The easiest way to deal with this is to apply the Limitation to the base Power (Regeneration, in this case), but at a lesser value (thus, from some perspectives, creating a sort of “limited Limitation,” if you see what I mean). Or if the GM wanted to be stricter, he could have you pay for the difference between the two Powers (in this case Regeneration (Hour) and Regeneration (Day)), and only apply the Limitation to that difference in cost.
