SR 5th ed. Mystic Armor stacking

eldamir · August 18th, 2014, 01:16 PM

If I have a character that purchased Mystic Armor as an Adept power at creation, and then purchase a QI foci (tattoo) that adds additional MA levels, the Hero Lab tool only reads the highest level, not the cumulative value as specified in the rulebook.

Is this a known issue?

For the purposes of Hero Lab, when creating a Qi Focus, enter the total level, not the number of levels to add. It's more important for powers like improved reflexes, where the cost to go from 0 ->1 is not the same as the cost to go from 1 -> 2, but it's implemented the same for all qi focuses.
