Default Re: [Powers] Are Multiplicative Modifiers Fairer?

In Pyramid 70, Kromm have a small box about MM.

In particular,

Quote:

The GM decides which model to use. The results aren’t the same (although they’re close for small modifiers), so using both isn’t recommended.
The additive model is a good “default,” but the multiplicative model can be fairer in campaigns where huge enhancements (like Cosmic, +300%) occur routinely.

This is a boxed-off “bonus item” because I’m not completely sure that we could have put it in the Basic Set. Adding it would have meant rethinking the value of every last enhancement and limitation – a matter of time more than one of space. If we had had more time, however, something akin to this rule would have made the cut.
So, You do need to check some modifiers. As suggested above, duration limitation are probably candidate for a revision under MM.
That sqid, I sometimes use MM and with a few "on the fly" adjustement, it work perfectly as long as you don't mix both systems.
