I'm having a discussion with a friend who played 4th Edition and is return to 6th, about the use/application of NA. I'd like to ask you some questions to help frame my thinking, in replying to him.
The description says: "There are two types of naked Advantages: naked Advantages bought to apply to any one of a group of powers (like the Autofire example above); and a naked Advantage bought to apply to a specific power (like the STR example above)." My contention is that this leads to a limit on the number of powers - all drains, all blasts, etc, whatever a player defines (but it limits the selection) - and his that this means the NA could apply to whatever power you have - offensive, defensive, movement, etc, if the group is defined as 'all powers a character has'. If, as GM, he chooses to allow it to apply to all powers, it's his call. My feeling is that 'all powers a character has' was/is not the intent of 'group'. Is there anything that states any limitations, or helps to conceptualize any scope on what a group may contain? How big is the bucket? I can't find any threads discussing this, but since NA came into 5th Edition we're talking a 12-13 year deep dive, and I don't think the site's archives go back that far (if it came up and was settled before. The only relevant post I found in 2009).
Edit: I did a search using google and the term+sitename. Maybe I didn't construct the terminology correctly, but no on topic hits that way, either.
