[Powers] Including Cosmic Dodge in a Cosmic Power
I have a Cosmic Power (called Siddhi, based on ascetic powers) and am thinking about Cosmic Dodge. Going off the bullets, her calculated cost is 90 points (for a Basic Speed of 12.)
As a Cosmic power, Siddhi includes that inherent +50% modifier. If I include the Cosmic Dodge in it, should I A) just include it at 90 points, because that's how much it costs, and cancel out the 50% extra from the Power modifier or B) change its cost in some fashion to account for it? Or is B) only the case if I buy my Speed as a Cosmic power, and then only partially up to the amount I purchased?

Re: [Powers] Including Cosmic Dodge in a Cosmic Power
As per Powers page 125, Cosmic is a +50% modifier as a power source, but you only pay the higher of the cost between this and whatever Cosmic modifier(s) your ability actually has. So, it's just the cost you'd get for applying +50% to your Dodge in this case.

Re: [Powers] Including Cosmic Dodge in a Cosmic Power
Yep, I look at it as the tier thing is a soft modifier and thus if your getting an actual effect out of it you can ignore the tier premium. So the premium is more a minimum cost kind of thing if that makes sense.

Re: [Powers] Including Cosmic Dodge in a Cosmic Power
Now all you have to worry about is whether or not the cosmic modifier for neutralize will work against your cosmic power.

Re: [Powers] Including Cosmic Dodge in a Cosmic Power
Also, remember GURPS Power Ups 4 notes on p.7:
"Using the cost of Enhanced Defenses (p. B51) as a guideline, and treating all defenses as being bought up from the base of 3. Dodge: Round Basic Speed down to the nearest whole number, then multiply it by 7.5 and round up, to find the point cost."
