This is a pretty ugly one. After someone posted that they added Senses (Low Light Vision) with Check Required 11 as part of a Linked Power in a Device and gotten 10 extra pp for the other Linked Power, I checked it out. Turns out, you can add directly to the character such a power and gain 10 extra pp. Isn't there supposed to be code making every power cost at least 1 pp?

He also rediscovered the nested Alternate Forms bug, this time involving nested Devices, and commented on how Noticeable can be added to base non-subtle powers.

Oww! My head! Gee thanks Duggan for bringing back the memories of the old back & forth "discussions" about how the rules in 2nd Edition specified that there is always a minimum cost of 1 power point no matter what price reducer or combination of reducers you stick onto a power/trait/ability. For the record, I was on the "follow the written rules" side of the "discussions."

So yes, there is that requirement in 2nd Edition rules & in the 2nd Edition version of M&M for Hero Lab but I have done nothing with the 3rd Edition of M&M so,....perhaps the authors gave in to the "I want things for free" crowd and removed that rule?
