[Powers] Stealing Attributes

Of course, that only adds 6 or 8 points to the cost of the Affliction, so you're still right, the Affliction build is still ending up cheaper.

I think this might be an issue with the enhancement pricing for Steal Other Score for Leech. I could see taking them down a bit - perhaps +50% for Steal ST/HT, and +100% for Steal DX/IQ. I haven't worked the math, but that should bring them at least closer to the values you get with Afflicting attribute penalties.

Well.. the enhancement "ranged" on top of malediction is another +40%.. i think is another problem, on top of the expansive cost for attributes..
