M&M 3rd ed. Problem with Enhanced Trait and Energy Absorption

Tried your suggestion. It doesn't work. At all.

It's clearly stated in the M&M 3rd Edition Deluxe Rulebook that Energy Absorption can be connected to Strength and sometimes Regeneration. It's meant to be an open-ended thing.

The same goes for Enhanced Trait. It is supposed to be any trait. And powers are traits.

The easiest way to get it to work is to build two powers - say, your base "Regeneration" power, and then build a second Regeneration power named "Energy Absorption: Regen" that has the "Stacks With" extra and the "Fades" flaw.

At least, that's how I'd do it. Points-wise it's the same cost as Energy Absorption: Regeneration would be.

I was reading through old posts and found this. You'll have a problem with Regeneration not accepting the Reaction modifier since Regeneration's default action as a Defense is None. To get around that, add the Sustained modifier to Regeneration first, then Reaction and Fades. A little clunky, but will allow you to build a Energy Absorption Regeneration effect.
