Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

How do you apply the limitation in the following case (this is just an example - and kind of a lazy one, but I think it'll do):

Acute Vision 50 (Whatever, -80%)

Is this worth [50] (the -80% applied individually to each level of Acute Vision (which is worth [2], reducing the cost to the minimum of [1]), or is it worth [20] (the -80% applied to the total [100] that the unmodified Acute Vision 50 would be worth)?

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

Limitations and enhancements are calculated off the total cost of all levels, otherwise limitations would do virtually nothing to leveled traits.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

The latter. Applying the limitation individually to the levels is gratuitous complexity.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

Thanks. I thought so, just making sure.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

You apply modifier as a block to all the levels they apply to not level by level.

However note you can do:
So that you get Magery 3 in one collage , but 1 in all others. But it is still bought in blocks totals of all the levels it applies to.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

Yes. Also, the final point cost needs to be the same, regardless of whether the player bought the trait one level at a time, or bought it all at once.

It is RAW-legal to buy levels with varying Limitations, such as 1 level of DR with no Limitations, 1 level of DR with a small Limitation, and 2 more levels of DR with a couple of larger Limitations. While I know that that's legal, I'm not actually sure about how you're supposed to calculate the cost of such a construction.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

Personally, I'd only round things up at the very end of the process. For example, you've got DR 1 [5] plus DR 1 (-15%) [4.25] plus DR 2 (-35%) [6.5], for a total of [15.75], rounded up to [16]. I'm not certain if that's strictly RAW however.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

That would be my preference as well.

It's not usually a problem for DR, because most Limitations and Enhancements are in convenient 20% units, but it can very well be relevant for other levelled advantages.

Re: Pricing Leveled Traits with Limitations
 

it is indeed relevant on such most commonly Innate Attack, where it has be ruled, that rounding is the very last step
