Ways for non-combat advantages to benefit from Cosmic

Not exactly. According to RAW, if you have a +50% Cosmic Power modifier the first 50% Cosmic enhancement on that power is already paid for. However, I would prefer to be able to easily separate Cosmic beings from those beings with a few powers that break the rules.

In my setting there are beings with Cosmic power modifiers. These can be called Cosmic Beings. Just having a power with Cosmic on it is usually used for bending the rules. I would rather have two names for the enhancement, but I know the difference.

I also use several tiers:

1. Cosmic - The true power behind the universe.
2. Divine - This is the power modifier for gods and their highest minions.
3. Spirit - This is the power modifier for spirits and the lesser servants of the gods.
4. Mundane - This is an unwritten power modifier for raw advantages.

Magic, Chi, and Psionic (in my setting they are three words for the same thing) are considered Mundane powers.

There is only one PC in my current game who is a Cosmic Being, but she's young and doesn't really understand her full abilities.
