Proportional Advantage and Reduced Negation Adder

[Pteryx]

If you buy levels of the Reduced Negation Adder for a Power and the Proportional Advantage for it, does the Adder increase proportionately in the defined circumstances too or stay at the same level? For example, would a Mind Control 4d6 vs. the Machine class of minds with Reduced Negation (2) and Proportional (x2 effect on email servers) have Reduced Negation 2 or 4 when targeting an email server? -- Pteryx

I’m going to rephrase your question a bit more generically to save myself some trouble.

 

Q: If a character has the Proportional Advantage (APG 139) on a power, does that Advantage affect any Adders on the power? For example:

 

—if he has Proportional (x2 effect) on his Flight 20m, Improved Noncombat Movement (x4 NCM, for +10 Character Points), would the multiplier increase to x8 NCM in the appropriate circumstances?

 

—if he has Proportional (x3 effect) on an attack with Reduced Negation (-2 DCs), does that become -6 DCs?

 

A: No, Proportional does not increase (or decrease) the effect of Adders bought for a power, only the base Power involved.
