Power feat for a linked power
- Thread starter Woodclaw
- Start date
Ah, so the power only applies to items which are Linked powers? Hrm... I'm not near my copy of HeroLab at the moment, but is Linked a valid power under Required Power in the definition of the feat? Or does this only apply to individual powers in a linked set? In either case, powers like Drain, Transfer, and the like probably won't work quite right with it since they're not designated in the editor as Linked (I think... although that might come into the "double cost" part of it. There's a checkbox to let you eliminate the double cost incidentally if that's your actual question).
I'm trying to implement a Power Feat from my HR set, it's called autonomous power and it can only be applyed to powers that are parts of a linked set.
That was the general idea, the +1 Extra always looked a little too costly to me. And, according to Ultimate Power, you can acquire the unlinked version of a power as an ALternate power of the Linked set, so the entire Extra thing makes little sense.

Regarding the Power Extra making little sense: I guess that comes down to character concept and how stingy your GM is with Hero Points.
We've had this discussion in our group and some folks are happy burning a Hero Point to trigger an Alt Power. Others of us think if a variant is going to be used on a fairly regular basis, especially since our GM almost never awards a Hero Point, it's best to buy both versions of the power at full cost (if the GM isn't allowing Arrays) or place both the "normal" use & the "variant" use into an Array.
Anyway, that's my $0.02 worth.

Woodclaw, here are some different ways to achieve this, in order of simplicity:
1) Add a custom power feat and change its name to "Autonomous Power". This is the easiest way.
2) In the editor, add a new power feat named "Autonomous Power" and use that only on linked powers. If you run through the editor tutorials, this should be fairly simple.
3) As 2, but also add an "expr-req" for the power feat, with the tag expression:
This will grey the power feat out unless it is being added to a linked power.
Hope this helps!
