Costs Fatigue and Affliction: Advantage
Hi all
Does the "pay half initial FP cost pr. minute of duration" apply to the Advantage version of an Affliction? To Afflictions in general? On one hand it does seem so. It seems to conform to: Quote:
Eg. there is nothing I can see about an Affliction being terminateable - so a caster can't stop losing lifethreatening fatigue, should a roll for duration yield a high one? Or am I being overly imaginative here?

Re: Costs Fatigue and Affliction: Advantage
Affliction is an attack advantage, like Innate Attack. You pay 1 FP (or however many levels of Cost FP you brought) per attack you make with Afflicition.
The Advantage modifier simply changes the effect of your Afflicition. By default, you can't choose to end the effects of your affliction early, and you have no control over the effects aside from when you make the attack. Though it does make sense to have a modifier of 'While I continue to expend FP', and then use Extended Duration to change the interval. |

Re: Costs Fatigue and Affliction: Advantage
So you say: "No fatigue after the initial expenditure."
Other opinions? Same or otherwise ...

Re: Costs Fatigue and Affliction: Advantage
My take:
The person bestowing the Affliction pays no Fatigue after the initial expenditure. The person who received the Affliction pays normal Fatigue for that Advantage. (It's an Advantage - he shouldn't be getting it for free.)

I'll also point out looking up the definition of switchable and transient in Powers. A switchable ability with Costs FP should get the maintanence cost, a transient ability wouldn't. |
