Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
I'm trying to find what modifier should be used for requiring concentration/ready before you use an ability. I know that the limitation in Powers is that you have to concentrate/ready to keep the ability active.
Thanks in advance |

Requires Concentrate or Ready (-15% / -10%), Powers 112.

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
Thanks, but I'm looking for concentration/ready before the ability activates. Similar to how most spells require 1 second of concentration before they activate. The limitations you list here require continuous concentration/ready each turn to keep the ability active. See, I have abilities that are free actions right now.
As a side question. Activating an ability with Costs Fatigue is a Free Action unless the advantage explicitly states otherwise? |

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
I found the answer to my own question. It would require a Ready Maneuver. But what if I want to switch this to a Concentrate Maneuver? Should this cost anything?

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
I'd suggest Extra Time (Basic, pg 115), assuming the GM allows it to be placed on an advantage that doesn't take time to begin with; personally, I use one level of Extra Time to convert from "activate as Free Action" to "activate as Concentrate|Ready Maneuver".

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
An additional -5% to the limitation value. (Requires Ready is -10%, Requires Concentrate is -15%, for example.)

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
After thinking about this a bit I have a concern. By this method requiring concentration/ready continuously is the same price as requiring it only for activation. My thinking is that maybe continuous should be double the cost. So -20% for ready, -30% for concentration.

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
Or maybe requiring concentration/ready only to activate should really only be -5%. Similar to the lowest level of trigger.

Re: Non-Continuous Requires Concentration/Ready
You your looking for Preparation Required (which allows for a delay between preparation and action) in Immediate Preparation Required which does not allow for the delay.
