The Werewolf:
why is modular abilities -2 + how ever many refresh you in, but you can't use two points?

luminos:
Because it lets you choose supernatural powers on the fly, and then change those powers out for something else when you are in a different form.  That is a very powerful ability, and makes shapeshifting rather cheap if you can shift into multiple forms.

Archmage_Cowl:
because it's more versitile than basic powers thus your paying the -2 for the added versitility. At least thats what i took from it. ;D

Seriously?

Compare spending 6 refresh to be able to use every reasonable 4-refresh ability set in the book (which would you like today? Supernatural Strength, Speed, Toughness, or Recovery? Maybe two Inhumans instead? Or maybe Claws today, Inhuman Strength, and Wings?) to spending that 6 refresh on a fixed set you can't change.

The benefit of that flexibility is pretty freaking obvious. The ability to *adapt* is huuuuuuge.

Barodahn:
Quick question on modular abilities... YS does not say that you HAVE to have other shape-shifting abilities...

Can modular abilities be taken on it's own? (Just wanted to confirm that I was reading it right)
