Re: [ORE] Self Only on Useful Quality?

Yes, "cheating" is intended. From everything I've read the developers knew people would min max, that's why character building is soooo crunchy. They want you to make the power do -exactly- what you want/need it to so that there's no question what it does when you use it in play. It really expedites things when the mountain of flaws you stacked on a power to save points means the power always does X and nothing more.

I know that seems counter intuitive but that's how it works out.
