Power Revisions

  • Powers
    • Improvements tdamage and healing over time stacking rules
      • Generally, damage and healing over time effects will now stack when applied by different players. They will continue not stacking with themselves when applied by the same player.
      • Different players of the same power are now able to use their damage and healing over time effects together for full effect without conflicting with each other.
      • Controller Power over Time Effects
        • The functionality of Controller Power over Time effects have been improved. Players may still only have one Controller Power over Time effect applied at the same time. A new Power over Time effect will only overwrite if it is applied by someone with a higher Vitalization than the one currently applied. This will let multiple Controllers function together harmoniously without anyone’s toes being stepped on.
