[QUOTE="Relique du Madde, post: 5226784, member: 42169"] As Steve Kenison stated in one of RPGnet's ICONS threads, that the Power Level of Alter Ego exists for Nullification purposes . That is it helps prevent you from being kick out of your alter ego. Since your characters alternate form is considered a power in itself, if Null Power is equal to your Alter Ego's power level, a test result of 3+ on a straight 1d6-1d6 will nullify it (Minor Null Power successes only cut the power down to half its effective level. Major or greater shuts it down for a number of rounds equal to the Null Power Level). This is because: POWER TEST = Effort - Difficulty +/- modifiers. = ((1d6 - 1d6) + Null Power Level) - Target Alter-Ego +/- modifiers. = (1d6 - 1d6) + (Null Power Level - Target Alter Ego Level) +/- modifiers Results 0> =Failure. 0 - 2 = Moderate success 3 - 4 = Major Success 5 - 14 = Massive Success 15+ = Cosmic Success. If you are a gambler, here are the odds for each result: Result / Exact Result / Result or Higher +5 / 2.77% / 2.77% +4 / 5.55% / 8.33% +3 / 8.33% / 16.66% +2 / 11.11% /27.77% +1 / 13.88% / 41.66% 0 / 16.66% / 58.33% –1 / 13.88% / 72.22% –2 / 11.11% / 83.33% –3 / 8.33% / 91.66% –4 / 5.55% / 97.22% –5 / 2.77% / 100% Yes, because they get "one less power then the amount you rolled." Which in terms of Point Buy is one less power then the maximum (which is 5). By default you can do it at will, without rolling. This means it can take one panel to do a full switch. Anything else becomes an challenge. [/QUOTE]
