Re: More Side Effect questions Thanks everybody, the replies have been more than helpful, I think to both of us. My GM likes the partialy limited poer Idea so that is the one I will go with

I had a GM tell me (within his rights) that this did not qualify as a limitation. kool for his game, but I'd like to know the official ruling. My character had a 60AP power with the following limitations; Act roll and Side Effects (-1/2). what I wanted was for when the activation roll failed, his power got cut in half (half the points dropped from the power as the Side Effect). he said that I was trying to negate the Activation Roll, as he thought that when the Activation roll failed, that the power didn't go off AND that the side effect occured, which is possible, but not how I interpurted the Side Effect/ Activation roll Limitation Combo. Could you Clarify this For us?
