Comments anyone? Page #?

Oct 25, 2010 21:31:59 The rule is that you only gain the Overcharge bonus from your Primary Origin.

This has created some confusion for the Engineered Human, because although this origin has an Overcharge bonus, it is supposedly always a Secondary Origin. Which means the bonus is never added. Which everyone agrees makes no sense.

But to answer your question: primary only, no, they do not stack.

Cheers.

This comes from page 34.

I stand by the EH line is included so there is a rule for people house ruling.

Yes.
do you gain it from both?
if both do they stack ?

No, and no.

Of course, it can be a primary origin if you're using the 'players choose primary & roll secondary' or 'players choose both - the big chickens' alternatives from the sidebar. So it really shouldn't have created that much confusion.
