[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6035213, member: 57383"] Eh? In the latest draft it can't operate at normal power [I][B]at all in[/B][/I] in the first reserve period. That's a worse penalty than being able to act at normal power for a few rounds. Surely being able to boost to normal power for three rounds when in "reserve period" is [I][B]more[/B][/I] fiddly, since it's one more thing to keep track off - how much "reserve power" it has left and how many rounds of normal power it's used up. Besides, there's a good chance it'll only last a few rounds of combat, so three rounds of normal power may well be all it's able to use. It's easier if the DM only needs to know what its current maximum power is and how much duration they have left, and they only need to keep track of the duration if they expect the droids to be operating on a strategic timescale. In breaking news, I'm happy with the current draft. :cool: [/QUOTE]
