Problem with dynamic arrays?

daddystabz · 12:58 AM

I am working on a weather controller character for my girlfriend and her weather control powers are contained in a dynamic powers array. However, when I set the powers to dynamic the program is limiting me to only about half the cost of the mother power.

So if she has a mother power of Weather Control mother power of 14, all her other powers in this dynamic array are limited to a cost of 7. Is this a bug?

I attached the Hero Lab file of what I have for her so far if any of you want to load it and view the issue.

Thanks in advance!

I think I found the issue. I had the mother power originally as just Environment with power ranks but with nothing else added to the effect....no extras, no descriptors, no flaws, no advantages, etc.

When I went in and changed the mother power to Environment 16 (Freezing Temperatures), Cold (Extreme), Selective it made everything work out correctly.

Exactly. For powers with options, prior to applying an option, they default to 1 pp / 2 ranks.
