FP/ER Regeneration And Magic

[vierasmarius]

Perhaps the reason why ER is not normally given a power modifier (though it's almost always restricted to fueling a single power group) is that there don't tend to be things that block or remove the ER itself. For example, a wizard doesn't have his ER (Magic) drained by walking into a No Mana Zone, and ER (Psi) isn't a valid target for an Anti-Psi's Neutralize. There could be an exception to this (a mana pool that varies by local mana level, for example) in which case a power modifier might be appropriate. I'd tend to avoid this however, since it mostly adds complexity without much gain.

There are several examples of ER (mostly in DF, but mentioned in Thaumatology and elsewhere) that give it a power type (ie Magical, Psi, Divine, etc) but no discount.
