Stretching + Reduced Time

[AlexGnome]

Stretching says it takes 1s per +1 to SM to stretch. So Stretching 3 would take 3s to go from SM0 to SM3.

Does Reduced Time reduce the time per SM, or the total time? In other words, would I need 1 or 3 levels of Reduced Time to Stretch 3 SM instantly?

Total time.

Three levels.

Ok, that stated... how would you (just for kicks) make it so you could stretch 1 yard in 0 seconds, 2 in 1 second and 3 in 2 seconds? I'm suspecting alternate abilities?

That would just be 1 level of Reduced time.

Or, more generically, if one has Y levels of Reduced Time, it takes X/Y (rounded as usual) seconds to stretch X yards where X is less then or equal to the level in Stretching.

While that seems reasonable and intuitive, that is not what RPK said and I was asking for a clarification to see if what you said was correct basically. :)

He did say the reduction was on total time, and the book makes it clear total time is based on how much you want to stretch.

But I do understand preferring an official source over some random guy on the inter webs :P

One level of reduced time would do that.

Reduced Time 1 turns 1 second into 0 seconds, by definition.
Reduced Time 1 turns 2 seconds into 1 second.
Reduced Time 1 turns 3 seconds into 1.5 seconds, which becomes 2 seconds.

Oh good. That was my assumption until I saw your first answer then I got confused. Thanks for clearing that up.
