Also I noticed that ISP and PPE were added, but the power points provided by the arcane background or power point edge are not populating those numbers. What syntax needs added to do that?

I think both of these can be resolved with scripts on the Rifts mechanic.

I believe there is a CurrStrain field/resource. Could check if that is greater than 0 and if the hero has a particular tag like Rifts.MagSklPen apply -1*current strain to bonus (I don’t remember offhand if there is a penalty field or not...).

For the ISP/PPE, May just be a matter of finding the right timing to apply Power Poits field Values to the respective ‘type’ of energy...

Would that work?
