    Default M&M Quickness Question

    Hey, so I was reading about the Quickness effect online at this link: http://www.d20herosrd.com/6-powers/e...kness-general/
    Now it costs one point per rank, but the flaw Limited to One Task gives -2 points for each rank. These types of power flaws are something I've always been confused about, but this seems to provide extra character points, since it only costs 1 point per rank, and the net would be -1 point per rank. Am I just totally misunderstanding this power, or is it just essentially the Free Character Point power?

    You're misunderstanding the way flaws and other modifiers work. See http://www.d20herosrd.com/6-powers/modifiers/ and look at "Fractional Costs".

    The cost goes from 1 point per 1 rank (1:1) to 1 point per 3 ranks (1:3), not -1 point per rank.

    No worries, glad I could help. You've reminded me how much I enjoyed playing this game. Now to get my GM to send me my old character sheets...
