Re: Using "Either/Or" limitations

Tunnel Vision [-30] + No Tunnel Vision (Temporary Disadvantage, Easy to Hit Eyes, -5%) [29] = -1 point. A quirk, which is about right considering that one of these is already just a -5-point disadvantage and you're basically asking for the ability to switch around your disadvantages so you can choose the one that inconveniences you the least. BTW, a quick formula for this, as long as both disads are no worse than -80 points, is (A*B)*(-0.01). For the example above, (-30*-5)*(-0.01) = (150)*(-0.01) = -1.5, which rounds up to -1.

Re: Using "Either/Or" limitations
That 80% limit is for the final cost of a trait, so stacking a -100% limitation on something with a 300% cosmic enhancement is still a net +200%, correct?

Re: Using "Either/Or" limitations
Yes, but that's not what's being discussed here. We're talking about either/or limitations.

Reversing -30% to +30% is mathematically simple, but I don't think it yields the proper results. If arriving naked every time is a -30% limitation on a 100 point advantage, it yields a 70 point advantage. Therefore, its value as an enhancement should yield the opposite result. That is, if arriving naked every time was the norm for a 70 point advantage, then not arriving naked as an enhancement should yield a 100 point advantage where the character doesn't arrive naked. If we follow this as a +30% enhancement, we get (70 x 130% = 80 + 21 =) 91 points, rather than 100 points. To go to 100 points from 70 points requires that the enhancement be valued as +42.86% or +43%. It's not particularly neat, but you could round it off to +40% or +45% if you don't mind being out about 2 points either side of 100. Last edited by Curmudgeon; 05-20-2017 at 08:30 PM.

Re: Using "Either/Or" limitations
It does when you are adding up enhancements and limitations. Remember that you always add together all enhancement and limitation values before applying them as a modifier (unless you are using the multiplicative modifiers option on Powers p.102).
