I just noticed for the first time that one of the things an Arcane background can do (with the editor) is mark some powers as invalid choices for the power.
Rather than, say, going through and doing preclude-and-replace on most of them and then putting pick-reqs on them that don't allow those particular arcane backgrounds. Sometimes I'm dangerous to myself... |

Heh, that sucks.
Evil wins because good rolls poorly .... or the players are not paying enough attention to the game. |

I had decided to give the attribute increase per Rank for free. How I did this was that I made up a different advance per attribute, such as "Free Seasoned Attribute". I used a mechanic to make the cost be 0.
Everything worked great until I wanted to make the Attribute Advance validation work for actually spending advances on every-other advance at Legendary (if desired). My initial test had me try it with a Legendary character. It no longer worked if the character was not Legendary. After a bit of looking around and playing around, the reason was obvious and a simple if statement fixed it. Sometimes we think we are clever but forget a detail that will save us a whole lot of trouble and frustration.
