Would TnS triple the cost of Combat Luck like it does for other defenses?

While I should have realized that Linked wouldn't restrict a 2 pt level, my question about CSLs in a framework slot *along with* the power it is for is still unanswered (to me, at least). Presuming I have GM approval to include Skill Levels in a framework, would this be a legal slot for a 60 Point Multipower? 6-u Death Punch: Drain Body 5D6 (50 Active Points) -and- +3 OCV (6 Active Points) I thought that to include more than one thing in a framework slot they *had* to be linked. If that is true, the CSLs above would then have to be 5 point levels, so that one could legally take Linked on them.

Mr. Rejuvenator has 10 Body and no Power Defense: Regeneration: Healing 1 BODY, Resurrection, Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Persistent (+1/2) (60 Active Points); Extra Time (Regeneration-Only) 1 Turn (Post-Segment 12) (-1 1/4), Self Only (-1/2) Mr. Flatline has: DIE!: Suppress BODY 12d6 ... and uses it on Mr. Rejuvenator, rolling 42 points of effect, or 21 Body, effectively "killing" him (-11 Body). I know that he will revive when the Suppress is removed, but I am curious about what happens before then. Will Resurrection Regeneration bring him back to life despite the Suppress? Will Regeneration eventually restore all the damage from the Suppress? (Both questions presume that the Suppress is still in effect.)

I couldn't find the answer to this question either in the rGMB (revised Green Man Book, aka 5ER), or in the FAQ. Can you use a Dispel on a target that doesn't have the spedified power? I.e., Can you use Dispell Knockback Resistance + Does Knockback on a target that has no Knockback Resistance, and thus cause knockback?

Given that Dispel is an All-or-Nothing power, if Dispel has the advantage Does Knockback, can it still cause knockback if the Dispel doesn't achieve a high enough result to dispel the target power? And if the target power is Knockback Resistance, is the knockback (presuming a successful dispel) calculated with or without the Knockback Resistance?

I have some confusion on linking constant, granular powers (like Flight or Energy Blast) to a constant power that is either on or off (not granular), like Desolidification. Say that I'm making a character who can transform into "living fire" (turns on Desolidification). I want anything that occupies the same space as him while Desolid to take heat/fire damage (I know it needs APW, and I have a different thread dealing with it's legality). I also want him to be able to fly, but only while Desolid. I presume that both the Damage Shield and the Flight would take Linked (to Desolidificaiton). However, the Damage Shield is effectively "Always On" and on "full-power" anytime the Desolidification is on. But the Flight, while only useable while Desolid, is still granular in it's use (0" to max"). My question is which values for Linked would be correct: A. Both take Linked at -1/2. B. The Damage Shield takes Linked at -3/4, and the Flight takes it at -1/2. C. The Damage Shield takes Linked at -1/2, and the Flight takes it at -1/4.

If a chararacter has Desolidification and a Damage Shield with Affects Physical World, would the Damage Shield do it's damage to a solid character making "contact" with this one?

Would it be valid to use the "Invisible Power, Visible Source" clause when buying Invisible Power Effects for Desolidification? I.e., I want it to look like the character is not Desolid until someone or something passes though him. Would that be +1/4 or +1/2?

Re: Mental Martial Arts

I may not have been clear with the second question. Say that Mr. Downer has the following power: 75 Transfer 2d6 (Stun to Transfer), Continuous (+1), Uncontrolled (+1/2) (75 Active Points) 7 END And he strikes Mr. Target #1 (a duplicator) with it. He puts a large amount of END into it's Uncontrolled pool -- for this question, the exact amount isn't important, other than it's enought to last many Phases. Normally, the character's Power gets boosted so that the next target of Mr. Downer's attack would suffer a bigger Transfer. But at the same time, the Transfer that was "stuck to" the first target remains at a constant level. What I am asking is would it be allowable for the Transfer to *not* boost the character's power, but instead boost *itself* -- i.e. the one that is "stuck to" the target?

Can a Transfer bought with Uncontrolled transfer some or all of it's points into the "END Reserve" created due to the Uncontrolled Advantage? Could the same Transfer transfer some or all of it's points into itself?

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Storn, I don't suppose you chould be persuaded to offer a package deal/bulk discount?

Re: 4th vs 5th I think that last word shouldn't have the "dis" on it.

Re: How do you Keep from having your Mind Read? I'd call that a -0 Limitation at best. Telepathy can't send into the Deep, Hidden Thoughts/Memory/Subconscious levels. And sending "Surface Thoughts" doesn't do anything to the target.

Re: Partially Limited Powers, Adders or Advantages? You're welcome. Something I'm not sure if anybody pointed out: Naked Advantages are generally Instant, and generally Cost END. To avoid this problem, don't make Persistent a Naked Advantage. Use the rules for Partially Limited Powers on p 180 of 5th ed (p 282 of Rev 5th ed).

Re: Favorite Abuse How about the "Go Away" Damage Shield for only 8 points? 1" Teleportation(straight up) + Zero END(+1/2), Continuous(+1), Damage Shield(+1/2), Megascale(1"=1000 Km; +1) That's about 2.75 times higher than the International Space Station's orbit. However, this isn't nearly as doable if there is a mimimum purchase rule for Teleportation.

Re: Favorite Abuse So your dogma will be run over by your karma?

Re: Favorite Abuse You forgot to add the Fill In adder. Otherwise, you've also just created a volcano. EDIT: Not to nitpick, but in the vast majority of places on the Earth the crust is thicker than 2 km. Just drop it down to 1" and bump up the MegaScale advantage to fix.

Re: How do you Keep from having your Mind Read?

Re: What's the most ridiculous PC you've ever been subjected to? Distinctive Features (Tank)? Physical Limitation (Very Large and Heavy)? Reputation (Best Tank On The Planet)? Hunted (Soviet Tanks)? ------ Extra inches of Running - Turn Mode (-1/4)

Re: Partially Limited Powers, Adders or Advantages?

Re: Partially Limited Powers, Adders or Advantages?{EDIT}I forgot to add Useable On Others to the second power build I suggested. Without it, the Force Field can't be given to anybody else. {/EDIT}
