Affliction 3.0 to 2.0 MnM

[cinder]

How would I go about making 3.0 Affliction a power in 2.0 MnM?

Is this possible? Is it legal?

I don't think it would be that difficult. You can add multiple Power Elements to choose from for a power. The only catch is, I can add the dropdown, but even just trying to copy the Dazzle or Drain powers, it doesn't actually let you select anything, so I'm missing something here...

I have an initial draft of this. I'm this close to figuring out how to make Limited Stage remove one or two bootstraps, but I can't quite bridge that gap. Note that, as per the description of the power, it precludes Stun, Fearsome Presence, Nauseate, and a couple of others.

Oh, and it would be nice to be able to add custom Conditions to the character so that they could be checked off.

I'll see if I can add Conditions to the editor. To make Limited Stage remove one or two bootstraps, you can have it add a tag to the power container like this:

      perform container.assign[Internal.pfAffLimDg]
      if (field[pwmRanks].value = 2) then
        perform container.assign[Internal.pfAffLimDg]
        endif

This adds one Internal.pfAffLimDg tag, or two if you took 2 ranks of the flaw. Then add bootstrap conditions to check for the tag like this:

count:Internal.pfAffLimDg < 1

This only shows the bootstrapped thing if there are less than 1 (i.e. if there are 0) of the tags assigned to the power. You'll need to use a different tag, but you should be able to define one in the "User" group on the "Limited Degree" flaw.

Hope this helps!

Hah! I thought it would be something like that, but I just couldn't manage to find an example of an applied tag in the extant powers and I was having issues mapping the Pathfinder examples to M&M. Thank you!
