bigdamnhero Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 When using Adjustment Powers, does Resistant Protection count as one power, or two-or-more powers? In other words, does a Drain Resistant Protection automatically affect both rPD and rED, or do you have to buy Expanded Effect to affect both? Thanks Steve.

Steve Long Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Re: Adjusting Resistant Defenses When a character uses an Adjustment Power on Resistant Protection, the Character Points added/removed are applied to the power as a whole. The value of the defenses provided by the Resistant Protection are then recalculated, maintaining their standard ratio as closely as possible. Example: Ultratech has a force-field defined as Resistant Protection (8 PD/8 ED) (24 Active Points). If he’s attacked with a Drain Resistant Protection 3d6 that rolls 9 points of effect (reducing the power to 15 Active Points), his force-field is temporarily reduced to 5 PD/5 ED. Later Ultratech earns some Experience Points and increases his force-field to Resistant Protection (10 PD/12 ED/6 Power Defense) (42 Active Points). Another character uses Aid Resistant Protection 4d6 on him, adding 9 points of effect (to “51 Active Points”). The GM rules that this increases the Resistant Protection to 12 PD/14 ED/8 Power Defense. In some cases an Adjustment Power may be more precisely defined — such as Drain Resistant Protection ED 3d6, or Aid PD 5d6, Variable Effect (any sort of PD). In that case only the relevant part of the Resistant Protection is affected; the rest is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
