[TLG] Immunity to Negative Effects of FP Loss

dfinlay · 10-04-2015, 11:09 AM

For a game I'm running with Magic as Powers and The Last Gasp, I would like to build an Affliction spell that allows the target to ignore all the penalties associated with FP loss from The Last Gasp (the FP loss still occurs, it can still cause HP loss, can still cause unconsciousness and will give all the usual penalties when the spell ends, but until any of that happens, they character can act as though they haven't spent any FP). I'm not sure how to price the advantage it's granting, though. I've thought of the following two possibilities:

Rules Exemption Perk [1] - Seems way too cheap for what it does

+1 IQ,ST,HT,DX (Only below 80% FP -??%) AND
+1 IQ,ST,HT,DX (Only below 60% FP -??%) AND
+1 IQ,ST,HT,DX (Only below 40% FP -??%) AND
...

Which seems both very cludgy and way too expensive for what it does. Thoughts?

Even at maxed Limitation that's extremely pricey.

Maybe some sort of Temporary FP? Or an 'illusory' +10 FP.

Say price it as +10FP (or 20FP or whatever amount would cover any PCs), but it doesn't actually give FP. It only counts for "negates low FP penalties".

My point exactly.

Huh, that's an approach I hadn't thought of: Healing (2 x max FP, FP only +0%, Cosmic: Can go above maxFP +50%, disappears when spell no longer sustained -??%). Though that would let them spend below -1xmaxFP and would also eliminate the HP damage from FP overuse. I could just add in limitations to fix those, though at this point, it's starting to seem pretty cludgy as well, though better than either of the alternatives I presented.

Wow. That is so very much the simplest solution. I kind of can't believe I missed it. Thank you.
