I just noticed

Post by jmucchiello »

I'm not recommending anyone do this. I'm just surprised I hadn't noticed this before.

If you purchase Variable n with the slow option and put it in a device, you gain PP.
29 Device - Dial "H" for HERO
* Variable 6, Slow - 30 PP you can spend on anything. (36 PP)

36 - 1/5*36 = 29 for 30 PP
Yes, the sane GM says No. But I was just amused that this could be done.

Seriously, though, there are far worse abuses in 3e than that one.

The point discount on a hard-to-lose device seems really high to me. A disadvantage that only matters when the character is already helpless isn't much of a disadvantage.

Also, Slow takes the change out of fight. Variable is Sustained, so if you get Stunned, you got not powers.
