Requires a Roll and Adjustment Powers

[Armitage]

If a Power with Requires a Roll is targeted with an Adjustment Power, either positive or negative, is the penalty to the Skill roll based on the original Active Points or the new Active Points?

i.e. does a Power become easier to use after it's Drained and harder to use after its Aided, or does the roll remain constant?

[Steve Long]

Good question!*

 

Unless the GM rules otherwise, the Required Roll’s penalty should derive from the Adjusted Active Point total, thus making the roll more difficult (if the power’s Aided) or easier (if Drained).

 

 

 

 

*:  In fact, this is the perfect sort of question:  it's easily stated, hasn't been asked before, addresses a non-trivial/non-rare rules issue, and only requires a minute of my time to answer.
