07-29-07, 01:58 PM If there are different options for augmenting a power, do you have to pay for each one separately, or are they cumulative?

Ex: Mental Barrier, a third level power costs 5 pp. It's options to augment are as follows:
1-If you spend 4 additional power points, the deflection bonus to
AC increases by 1
2-For very additional power point you spend, this power's duration increases by 1 round.

If you paid 9 pp (5+4augment), would you get the increase to AC plus 4 extra rounds of duration? Or would you have to pay 13 pp (5+8 augment) to get the increased AC and 4 more rounds of time?

Thanks

Each augment is separate.

A 9pp Mental Barrier could provide you with the increased AC (9+4) or could last for three rounds (5+2+2). An 11pp Mental Barrier could last for four rounds (5+2+2+2) or could provide the increased AC for two rounds (9+4+2).

Mental Barrier is actually a bad example since it's so weak, but it'll have to do.

07-29-07, 02:35 PM I realize it isn't the greatest example, but it is the first power I flipped open to that had multiple augments. But yeah, thanks for answering so promptly. I kinda knew it wouldn't be the easy answer, but tried anyway.
