Variable Enhancements with Takes Extra Time?

[the_matrix_walker]

Takes extra time rapidly becomes a point crock. After a couple of levels, it really should be switched to "Immediate Preparation Required."

That said, whenever the subject of graduating limitations for the scale of abilities, I refer people to the rules for scaling fatigue cost on Page Powers 101, then suggest substituting the cogent values. In this case you would...

1. Set the amount of time it takes to use the ability at full effect.
2. Divide this time by the maximum weight you can Snatch, to give you your weight to concentration time ratio.
3. Multiply Seconds per pound by “average” Snatch weight – (max weight you can snatch)/2 – to find average time a snatch takes.
4. Drop all fractions.

The resulting average is what you would then use as the effective activation time for the purpose of your limitation level. Take the level of Takes Extra Time (or Immediate Preparation Required) to stretch your normal 10 second activation time to this average.

EDIT: This was not thought out.... Please disregard my nonsense, with how cheap it is to add weight, this is a total debacle.
