Variable+Abilities

This Power is intended to replace Modular Abilities.  **Description: **  You have some method of changing what Powers are available to you at any given time. **Note: **  Variable Abilities is not one Power; it's a whole collection, with each list being a different Power. If you don't trust your ability to create new Powers, stick with the lists provided here. If you do feel capable of writing new Powers, feel free to create your own lists using the ones here as a guide. Remember that if the abilities on the list are all useful in different situations it makes the list more powerful. **Skills Affected: **  Many. **Effects: ** //Option List. // <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> You have a list of Powers and upgrades and Stunts that you can give yourself with this Power. Your list may be of any length, and it may contain conditions like "Power X and Power Y must be taken together" or "Stunt X can only be taken if Power Y has been taken". Each list has a Refresh surcharge. A list's surcharge is proportional to its length, its flexibility, and the amount of variation among the Powers on it. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;">//<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Form Points. // <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> Once you've paid the Refresh surcharge of your list, you may spend as many additional points of Refresh as you want. For each additional point of Refresh you spend, you get a form point. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;">//<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Function Follows Form. // <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> As a full action, you may allocate your form points to abilities on your list. Each form point is worth 1 Refresh worth of abilities. You must abide by the conditions of your list, but you are under no obligation to keep all (or any) of your form points invested at any time.
