[QUOTE="Kylara, post: 2718299, member: 34850"] Stacking attacks is a very unbalancing power suite when taken beyond a certain point, it can create a 1 hero army that can take down Super villians in one successful hit, and frankly its not much fun for other players in the game if one player can take out the big bad and all everyone else needs to do is hold his coat. Steve Kenson himself has also recommended that the GM limits the number of stacked powers because of balance, and stated that he will be altering how the Aura extra works in the Masterminds Manual because of this issue. The below is a link to that thread. [url]http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?t=11449&highlight=stacking[/url] I have also posted up a thread asking him about a recommended limit, in a way that addresses what we are trying to do, and I'll post any answer he puts up. Official Proposal: Limit Stacked Attacks to a maximum of 2 saves in anyone attack. Explination: By going with a limit of 2 attack effects(saves) we still allow the aura extra, or allow for things like a bolt of lightning with a dazzle extra, but its not too much at once. Also, players are free to create Alternate Arrays if they want to use some other combination. [/QUOTE]
