Technique Type: Active or Passive
Required Credentials: None

Description

With training, a character can manage to double their activity level for a short period of time. Users of this technique should beware, for such an activity level can rapidly devour one's stamina pools.

Logistics

This technique is available in two forms, either one that is passive, or one that requires a technique activation. It is power level-specific -- to gain its benefits over multiple power levels, the cost must be repaid a second time to add that power level.

When in effect, this technique causes a character to, for some reason, be able to perform everything they would be able to do in two posts, in a single post, instead. This includes technique activations. Psions can access their slots twice, mages can cast two spells, etcetera. Doing so does not cost any extra stamina over and above what doing the actions separately normally costs.

In the passive form, it does not require a technique activation to use. If multiple posts are available, they do not have to be used sequentially, but can be split up over the course of the scene. The cost for this is as follows:

  • Level One: Useable for one post per scene. 75 (56/94) base days.
  • Level Two: Useable for two posts per scene. +75 (56/94) base days.
  • Level Three: Useable for three posts per scene. +75 (56/94) base days.

In the active form, the technique must first be activated (requiring a tech action and natural charge worth of stamina from the relevant PL). If multiple posts are available, they are automatically used sequentially -- they may not be split up or saved for later use. The cost for this is as follows:

  • Level One: Useable for one post per scene. 45 (34/56) base days.
  • Level Two: Useable for two posts per scene. +50 (38/63) days
  • Level Three: Useable for three posts per scene. +55 (41/69) days
  • Level Four: Useable for four posts per scene. +60 (45/75) days
  • Level Five: Useable for five posts per scene. +65 (49/81) days

In both cases, costs for levels greater than one are upgrade costs -- the prior costs must all be paid first.

The Active and the Passive versions of this technique may not be simultaneously used -- in no way may Extra Actions be stacked with itself so as to give more than two actions per post.
