How does AB:superpowers deal with maintaining powers?
Given each power has its own skill does maintaining the armour power incur a penalty to using other power's skills or does the -1 just apply to using the armour skill again?
Also, how does AB:superpowers deal with disrupting powers?
The rules say to "make one opposed arcane skill roll versus the damage he suffered" if you are maintaining powers and take damage, which skill does the superhero roll on if maintaining multiple powers?
And does both of those answers also apply to the Chi masters in DL:R?
Does the doubling of power points for the Fly spell also count for maintaining it? i.e. would it cost 2 per round rather than 1
The Wall Walking spell allows you to 'climb' surfaces at half your pace, how does that work when combined with ordinary movement? If you move to the wall and then start to climb it how do you determine how far up the wall you get? Does it essentially mean that for every 1" you move up the wall it takes 2" from your 'regular' movement or are they separate movement values (6" regular and 3" 'climb' per turn)? Or can you not 'climb' in the same round you move along a regular surface?

Correct, the penalty would just apply to repeated use of the same power as it only affects that arcane skill.

He would have to roll each skill for each power individually since they don't all use the same skill.

As noted in the description of that AB, barring the listed exceptions, Chi Mastery "works exactly as Arcane Background (Super Powers) is described in the Savage Worlds rulebook." Since neither of the above are affected by the exceptions, they work the same.

Nope, it just increases the base cost.

You nailed it; it would work the same as Difficult Ground where each 1" of movement counts as 2" of Pace. The only other limit (for a success to use) being that it can't be combined with running, so if the character ran in the same action, they couldn't use Wall Walker as well. _________________ Clint Black
