Mental Paralysis Defense costs

[bigdamnhero]

This came up in the Spice Up My Mentalist thread, and we couldn't find a clear rules cite:

 

Regular Entangle: each 10 AP buys you 1d6 BODY with 1 PD and 1 ED by default.

 

Mental Entangle: does each 1d6 come with 1 MD by default, or 2 MD? 6e1 p217 covers the costs to buy the MD up, but doesn't explicitly state what it starts at.

 

Thanks,

Good question, and stupid of me to omit the answer in the rulebook. Mea culpa, etc.

 

When a character purchases a Mental Paralysis Entangle, each 1d6 purchased includes 1 point of Resistant Mental Defense. As noted on 6E1 217, purchasing additional rMD costs 3 Character Points per +2 rMD.
