Right, I mixed them up, though it's a similar idea because when you've used up your Uses then Limited Use is normally unavailable as well.

In the case of either Takes Recharge or Limited Use, do these count as "duration" though? Usually duration means when an ability is active, not when an ability is inactive.

A 3rd limitation we could also throw into comparison would be "Maximum Duration" since that requires a 5-minute downtime between uses.

I'm just not sure why it would apply to these but not other limitations...

Like for example with "requires IQ roll", a failed roll means you must spend 1 FP to attempt to use the advantage again...

Should that also mean you must spend 1 FP to use any alternative abilities for it?
