Alter Metabolism

Unread post by Trent »

Some powers and abilities , like Extraordinary P.E. , reduce the rate of fatigue while others increase recovery from fatigue . Others still greatly increase the rate of healing . How do these effect the power of Alter Metabolism and its abilities and recovery from their side effects ?

How to stack healing and poisojn multipliers is mentioned on the right column of page 74 of HU2's under 'alter metabolism, healing factor and immortality'

Although I hate that and just stack multipliers instead of that silly +2, as a house rule.

Besides those two, it says everything else is compatible. What in particular in AM are you asking about?

If I have a power that greatly reduces the rate of fatigue , such as extaordinary PE , does that increase the duration of the AM abilities or reduce the effects or duration of the side effects ? Seems that if you fatigue at a lower rate you would recover from the side effects faster and they would have less penalties to start with and if you heal fater fro another power then AM abilities would last longer .

PE seems to dictate how long you can do something rather than how quickly you recover to full capacity after running out of steam.

I figure you mean 'does it let me go 20 days without sleep and 10 days without food and hold an andrenal rush 2 minutes 30 seconds' maybe.

Sleep possibly, although fatigue might refer to physical but not mental fatigue so I'm not sure. I don't think it lets you go longer without food since that's not fatiguing, it's needing components. For the Adrenal/Hyper possibly since these powers' ending could be interpreted as fatigue-stoppage. Hard to say.
