I have a question for you. I have the following two powers.
15 Barbed Scourge: Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 1d6, +2 Increased STUN Multiplier (+1/2), Armor Piercing (x2; +1/2) (30 Active Points); No STR Bonus (-1/2), Reduced Penetration (-1/4), No Knockback (-1/4)
and
16 The Lash of Conscience: (Total: 33 Active Cost, 16 Real Cost) Killing Attack - Hand-To-Hand 1d6, +2 Increased STUN Multiplier (+1/2) (22 Active Points); No STR Bonus (-1/2), Reduced Penetration (-1/4), No Knockback (-1/4) (Real Cost: 11) <b>plus</b> Armor Piercing (x2; +1/2) for up to 22 Active Points of Barbed Scourge (11 Active Points); Linked (Barbed Scourge; -1/2), Limited Power Power loses about a third of its effectiveness (only affects living things; -1/2) (Real Cost: 5)
Due to the way Limitations and Advantages on the base power interact with Naked Advantages, the second version is more expensive than the first, despite being worse.
Am I doing this wrong, or is there some alternate means for "a weapon that is armor-piercing against living things, but not inanimate ones?"
