« Last post by FastJack on <09-20-23/0700:20> »I'll take a look. The Spammers suggest it was because some other spambots were using the VPN you use. I'll see what I can do.

Forum Business / Bizarre "spam profile" issue I'm having
« Last post by JanessaVR on <09-20-23/0135:23> »This started a while back, and I think it's because these forums don't like my VPN (I have ProtonVPN). If I had it up, I'd get this message:
AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED!
Sorry JanessaVR, you are banned from using this forum!
Spammers
This ban is not set to expire.
If turned off my VPN, I could access the forums normally.
Now it doesn't matter if I have the VPN up or not, I still get this message. How am I posting here? Well, if I open a Private Window I can see the site normally (with the VPN up). I assumed this must have been some sort of cookies situation, so I ran CCleaner to clean things up and then tried again. Nope, same problem. So, I can get here, but I have to open a Private Window and login each time. I have no idea what's going on at this point.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Janessa

Rules and such / Re: [6E] Applying Math SPU Effects
« Last post by Dreamwalker on <09-19-23/0348:29> »Thanks for the input.
As far as Edge discounts are concerned: Never spelled out, but the general assumption is that the discount is always on the final cost (so 3x1=3, -1=2).And thanks for this clarification. It makes sense to resolve it that way. Otherwise overdrive on the Math SPU could also lead to pretty massive discounts.

Since a discount can't go to 0, unless very special exceptions, anything costing 1 multiple times wouldn't get discounted otherwise.Good point.

« Last post by MercilessMing on <09-18-23/1052:43> »I wish this was a FAQ item. IMO also, it should be applied to the final cost for the same reason Chandra explained. Applied to the final cost, 1-pt boosts can actually benefit, and it prevents discounts from becoming incredibly powerful!

« Last post by FastJack on <09-17-23/0839:47> »1. Since the Math SPU is affecting the skill and not the attribute, it should affect tests involving the Resonance attribute.
2. The reduction is a bit trickier. As a GM, at my table, I would allow it, since the only restriction to the reduction is that it can't reduce it lower than 1 Edge cost, and only lowers it by 1. Since you can't combine multiple boosts/actions per character action, I don't see it abusing Edge to allow the reduction on the same boost used multiple times. However, that is my GM prerogative, and not an official stance (that's above my pay grade).

Reading through it for some time now, I have two questions regarding the Math SPU:
Thanks in advance.
Reading through it for some time now, I have two questions regarding the Math SPU:
- Does the Math SPU effect apply to Electronics and Cracking tests that involve the Resonance attribute? For example, when threading a complex form.
- How often does the edge cost reduction apply when you use the same edge boost multiple times on a single roll (as permitted by the core rule book)? I assume it only applies once.
Thanks in advance.
