So, I'm gearing up to run an Aberrant game, and I want to make sure I have appropriately wrapped my head around how power suites work.
The book repeatedly states that the downside of a power suite (other than it being one power for disruption purposes) is that to use all the powers in the suite at once you must take a mixed action. How is this different from using a two powers that are not in a suite? Wouldn't those also take a mixed action to use at the same time? Furthermore since you would be using two different dice pools you would be using the lower of the two when you roll. When they are in a technique the power would have the same rating and you could easier have a larger dice pool to roll.
So, can somebody help clarify how power suites are supposed to work? I really don't see much of a reason not to put all your powers into a suite.
Thanks!
