Duplicates built on fewer points 2

[Scott Baker]

Thanks for your original answer. I may have confused it a bit by using very specific examples. I wasn't trying to imply that only a single characteristic or power difference would/would not qualify as being built on fewer points with lesser abilities.

 

More generically,what I would like to know is if the term "abilities" excludes any of the overall types of things you purchase for characters (i.e., characteristics, skills, talents, perks, or powers)? If this is still GM's choice, that's fine.

No, it doesn't exclude anything. That's why I often use it (or a similar term, "game elements") rather than writing out Every. Single. Type. of. Ability a character can buy in the game.

 

Though of course, the GM is free to exclude something from that definition if he prefers. For example, some GMs might only care about Powers, not about a Duplicate's Skills or Perks.
