Alternate form bug

[Woodclaw]

When I select one of the pre-existing Alternate forms (solid, Energy, etc.). All the 0 rank powers are priced to 1pp rather than 0pp. This bothers me a little since I had some characters that used those templates but has some effects outside the Alternate form.

I think that's my fault.

I pointed out to Colen the section that states no matter how much you layer on the Flaws and Drawbacks, a Power (I'm talking about any Power not just Alternate Form) can never, ever, ever cost less than 1 full power point, most certainly it can't "give back" points by going negative - which is how I stumbled onto to the fact that Hero Lab wasn't maintaining a 1 power point "floor." For your character to have a Power, you gotta pay something for it, even if it's just one measley power point.

Otherwise nothing, apart for a watchful GM, stops you from having a hundred "0 pp" powers thanks to the magic of creative accounting, I mean, the right combination of Power Flaws & Power Drawbacks.

Let the hateful responses and the burning of me in effigy begin for that shall pale in comarison to the fate awaiting me at Monday's Memorial Day Game.

Well, the basic principle is sound, but this is just the classic exception in the programming code.
