When, on YS185 the rules state
Catches cannot reduce the cost of your Toughness powers below -1.
does that mean that the total cost of your Toughness powers must be at least -1, or that each individual power must cost at least -1? The reason I'm asking is that I have a -3 catch (Fire, uncommon knowledge) and don't really think my high concept justifies Supernatural Toughness/Recovery. Since the total cost of my Toughness powers will still be -1 that seems to fly, but I can't help thinking that it doesn't, since it would mean that the cost of one of the powers was -0, and the other is -1. Help?

The rule is simple. No Powers for free. To my understanding the catch is a global refund that _CAN_ get used up by appropriate toughness powers, but none of them can be reduced to anything below -1 refresh cost.

The Catch substracts from the total of the toughness powers. That total can never be below 1.
So,
Supernatural toughness -4
Catch +3
Total -1
-----------------------
Inhuman Toughness -2
Inhuman Recovery -2
Catch +3
Total -1
--------------------------
that's how i understand it.

Yeah that's what I meant

Okay, cool, that's what I thought too, I just wanted to make sure that the cost of 2 total powers could be -1.
Of course, now I'm thinking of changing it, but that's a topic for another post.
