[QUOTE="takyris, post: 4115001, member: 5171"] Which formula? I was trying to write it both ways, and it's possible (nay, probable) that I wrote it badly: The options he seems to be asking for is: Power: AccuStrike (Costs 22 points) ( Strike 10 (Extra: Penetrating) - 20 points Accurate Attack (Strike) 2 - 2 points ) Alternate Power on AccuStrike: AccuBlast: ( Blast 10 - 20 points Accurate Attack (Blast) 2 - 2 points) Total Cost: 22 points (AccuStrike) + 1 (Alternate Power) = 23 points Personally, I'd prefer to see those Accurate Power Feats bought separately, because otherwise my powergaming players would most certainly do something like: Hero Guy BAB: 0 (Energy Blast 10 - 20 points Accurate 8 - 8 points) Alternate Powers: (Paralyze with Accurate), (Stun with Accurate), (Snare with Accurate), and so on... and you spent points on Accurate once and got it for everything in the array, which, for someone with all their powers in one array, means they got it pretty cheaply relative to the guy who actually bought everything up legal-like. As I recall, Ultimate Power had some guidelines as to which power feats should apply to an overall array and which can be bought as part of the power that gets alternated. It's late and I'm tired, though. [/QUOTE]
