Re: [ORE] WT - A couple of questions from an ST new to Wild Talents

5:26 PM |

Since your second question isn't getting much love:

You're right, you'll still have 4HD of HAR and LAR while surviving in vacuum.  But you're wrong about something else!

The Permanent +4 and Variable Effect +4 on the U quality mean it automatically adjusts to whatever immunity you need.  You don't need to "devote" dice to eating vacuum -- and even while doing so, you still "roll" 4HD to defend against poison, sunburn, stuff like that.  If I'm remembering rightly.  Not having Interference might mean you have a total of 4HD of immunity in any given turn, but I'm at a loss to think of when I'd enforce that except maaaaaaybe when Non-Physical Attacks qualities are involved.  I remember there being a definitive answer from Shane or Allan, but I don't remember what it is.

If this is a repost I apologize.  This is my first time posting here and I can't find my previous attempt on the list... so trying again.

I probably missed all this in the books but I've been trying to parse several systems this past week in preparation for the decision on what to play (we're going with this : )

1) How many powers can you activate or have active at a single time?

2) Say I have Invulnerability with 4HD. 

Invulnerability (20)
Qualities: D D U.
Defends (HAR) Extras and Flaws: Interference +3, Permanent +4. Capacities: Self.
Defends (LAR) Extras and Flaws: Armored Defense –2, Hardened Defense +2, Permanent +4. Capacities: Self.
Useful Extras and Flaws: Permanent +4, Self Only –3, If/Then (only for Variable Effect) –1, If/Then (Variable Effect is only for immunities) –1, Variable Effect +4. Capacities: Self.
Effect: You are (mostly) impossible to harm. Invulnerability's Useful quality protects you against some otherwise-deadly environment—radiation, vacuum, bitter cold, or something else—without harm. With Variable Effect and Permanent, it instantly adjusts to fit any dangerous environment.
In combat, each die of your Invulnerability roll removes one die from each attack against you. If an attack's width is great enough to hit despite your power's Interference dice, you have width in Hardened LAR against its damage.
Invulnerability is usually taken with multiple Hard Dice to guarantee a static defense set at height 10.

If I am in space and I have devoted 2 of my HD to surviving without atmosphere and I get shot.  Do I only have 2HD HAR or do I have the full 4HD.  I think the answer is that they are basically different powers so I have the 4 but I want to make sure.

Thanks.
