Partially Cosmic Variable Power Pool


Armitage

Question

A fantasy priest character has a variable Power Pool representing his ability to channel his deity's power.

 

Divine Magic: Variable Power Pool, 30 base + 60 control cost, (60 Active Points); all slots Requires A Roll (Faith Power Skill roll; -1/2), Only When Serving The God's Purposes (-1/2), Concentration (1/2 DCV; -1/4). Total cost: 43 points.

 

It's a standard VPP; changing powers requires a Full Phase and a Skill Roll, in addition to the Skill Roll needed to actually cast the spells.

 

The character also has an ability based on 3.5 D&D's spontaneous healing. He can dump powers from the VPP and replace them with Simplified Healing as a 0-Phase Action with no Skill Roll.

Essentially, it's Cosmic (+2) as a Naked Advantage, with the Limitation One Type Of Power-Simplified Healing (-1 1/2) applied to the Advantage.

The rules say "Generally, a character cannot purchase a naked Power Advantage or Adder that adds to any slot in a Power Framework", but since this applies to the Framework itself, it could be legal, in theory.

 

Would this be a Single-Power Naked Advantage, costing 11 Real points (+2 adds 27 Real Points to the Pool, -1 1/2 Limitation), or a Group Naked Advantage, costing 24 Real Points (+2 applied to 30 Active Points, -1 1/2 Limitation). Technically, the Framework is a "single power", but it's not a power in the conventional sense.
