Converted from Phorums BB System

Tetsujin,

No I believe it. It is quite possible in HERO which is one reason I <i>loathe</i> the FH magic system as a magic system.

IMHO the only way it remotely resembles magic is when you use power frameworks, but that is not the topic at hand.

Specifically, uses skill is only a -1/2 limitation. Let's say you have 5 and a half more points of limitations.

That means that with the usual version (with the skill) you divide the base cost by 7. Without the skill you divide the base cost by 6.5. There is not much difference between the two (it is the problem of diminishing returns).

Now if FH allowed you to add the advantages and limiations together than *then* modify the base cost, this would be much different (and better IMHO).
