[QUOTE="Yellow Sign, post: 690694, member: 5619"] Ok, let me see if I can help!:) 1. Yes you can sort of stack effects together. But it's Really up to the GM. Say you want a attack that has a Energy Blast and Dazzle combined in the attack. Say your a 10 level character, then you could have a combination of Energy Blast and Dazzle of up to a total of +10 in a single attack. Example Energy Blast +5 and Dazzle +5. Cost wise you would link the powers so that any drains or neutralizations would affect both powers at once. You would buy the highest power at full price and the lower valued power at cost -1 per level. Together with a device flaw it would look like this. Energy Blast +5 Cost 2-1 for Device per = 5 points Dazzle +5 Cost 2-1 for link and -1 for Device with a minimum of 1 =5 points. Total 5+5=10 points. 2. You cannot stack powers together over the characters level limit. For a 10th level character with +5 STR bonus, +10 Strike, and +10 Super Strength, his hand to hand damage would be +15 max. While Energy Blast does not stack with STR it gets the advantage of being a ranged attack. Though if a super villian neutralized the hero's Super Strength to 0 he still would do +15 damage (STR +5 and +10 Strike) 3. Nope they don't. You have to figure them out from their powers and stats. 4. Well its pretty important. Though I have a martial artist with a high Defense compared to a lower damage save. [/QUOTE]
