Question about MPPs, VPPs, triggers and naked advantages

[TheDarkness]

I'm a bit confused on this, so, using this example(assuming a STR 20 character):

 

1) 15 pts.              3 CSLs, all HTH

2) 20 pts.              naked advantage to STR attack: reduced END(1/4), triggered by Defensive Abort with CSLs above when he wishes to use this power(+1/4), trigger takes no time(+1/4), trigger takes a zero phase action to reset(1/4)

3) 52 pts.              naked advantage to nightstick attack: reduced endurance, triggered by Defensive Abort with CSLs above when he wishes to use this power(+1/4), trigger takes no time(+1/4), trigger takes a zero phase action to reset(1/4)

 

a) Assuming that I had a list of related moves that could go in a MPP or VPP, can a slot in the pool have a naked advantage off of the character's strength?

 

b. Could the pool have a slot that was a naked advantage off of a power outside that pool(but not in another pool)?

 

c) Can a pool have slots that trigger off of another slot in the pool, as 2 and 3 above do off of 1?

 

d. Does the nightstick in 3 need to be in the pool?

 

Thanks again!

1-2, 4. Naked Advantages cannot be slots in Power Frameworks, unless the GM waives that rule. If he does, he can answer the resulting questions.

 

3. If the Power Framework has enough reserve/Pool points to have two slots active at one time, then it's possible one of those slots could Trigger the other. But a slot that doesn't have reserve/Pool points allocated to it can't be Triggered, period.
