Zephrosyne Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I am just wondering if it is really necessary to reduce Adjustment Powers to half effectiveness versus Defense Powers and defensive Characteristics? Adjustment Powers seem to require enough bookkeeping as it is. Granted, remembering to reduce Drain or Aid (or whatever) by half against PD, Stun (or whatever) isn't hard at all. It's just that in concert with everything else is kinda annoying. I wonder if this exception to the general rule is really needed. I am hoping that those of you with more practical application of the rules, since I haven't gotten my campaign started yet, could provide insight. Thank you.

CrosshairCollie Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Adjusment Powers versus Defenses It's a matter of balance; in a typical supers game, you have 30 max points of defenses against 60 or more points of attacks. A 30 PD brick is damn tough; but a 6d6 Drain would, on average, reduce his PD to 9, leaving him susceptible to Body damage from an average attack. That's WAY too swingy for 1 attack action to cause.

Fireg0lem Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Re: Adjusment Powers versus Defenses It's especially important for positive adjustment powers. Without that restriction, it would be very easy for an Aid to push someone's defenses high enough to make them nearly invincible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
