Modifiers on normal senses

pgb · 09-07-2020, 01:06 AM

If I want to modify a normal sense, e.g. hearing, then there seem to be two different approaches.

In Power-Ups 8, Limitations (p6), the approach is to treat the normal sense as an advantage compared with its absence - so hearing is "No Deafness" [20] - and calculate the cost of a limitation on it accordingly. In Powers: Enhanced Senses, there is something similar (p9), but the base cost is smaller by a factor of 2.

Why are they different? What am I missing?

Thanks!
