Question about Use of Trigger and Uncontrolled on a Power in a MP slot

[Steve Long]

First, as noted on 6E1 352, the GM may forbid the setting of Triggered powers in a Power Framework and then shifting the reserve/pool points to something else. And in the case of this power, which involves placing a “Stop Sign” Advantage on a “Caution Sign” Power, there’s probably greater than normal cause for GM concern. Just something to keep in mind.

 

The rules on 6E1 352 note that both Advantages allow a power in a Framework to be activated, and then the Framework can be switched to some other slot without de-activating the Triggered/Uncontrollable power. So once a character activated this power, he could then shift the Framework to something else.

 

Personally, as a GM I probably wouldn’t allow this absent a good justification; at first glance it seems like a potentially abusive use of the rules. But I can think of situations where I might allow it, and of course each GM has to make up his own mind for his own campaign.

 

If that doesn't fully answer your question, please post a follow-up.
