[Psionic Powers] Drain (Attribute) Question

PK · 06-14-2009, 12:40 AM

My house rules actually address this explicitly, with values for Will and Per draining. So yes, while there was no way I could've worked it into canon, in my games you can buy Drain Perception and Drain Will as PV abilities, each of which drains twice the margin of victory for the duration.

I hadn't thought of Speed/Move, though. Personally, it seems off to drain Move without affecting Speed -- to me, that's like draining just someone's Striking ST but leaving their Lifting ST, y'know? So I'd allow a seventh variant, Drain Speed, which drained Basic Speed equal to half the margin of victory (no need to round -- fractions are fine), but not a separate Drain Move ability.
