M&M 3rd ed. Setting PL for Variable powers

juliuse · November 23rd, 2014, 09:22 AM

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to change the system settings so as to allow Variable powers such as Mimic or Variable to be included in the calculation of PL?

Thanks,
Julius

As in having a particular activation be checked against PL? At least in 2E, the only way to do it was to turn them on, same as with any activatable power. Sadly, they don't even export in the Custom XML either, so you can't even check them with a program that way.

I'm using 3e. What I'm looking for primarily (for now) is for the character sheet to take Mimic or Variable into account when it calculates PL. Right now, a character with Mimic 20 but abilities of all 1 would show up as PL2 but I want it to show as PL10.

Is this intended for PCs or NPCs?
