A long-time annoyance: suppressible powers
« on: July 20, 2010, 11:07:36 PM »
It has always been an annoyance to me that powers with suppressible effects - Hide, Stealth, and whatnot that give half their defense all the time and the other half only outside of combat - are by default set to include both boosts, and that there is no easy way to change that.  Every database update, or every reinstall, I find myself needing to open up the Database Editor every time I fiddle with a new such set, make the power scalable from 0 to 1, and set each suppressible effect to scale.

I'd love to see an easy way to do that.  Maybe right-clicking the big green activate/deactivate button to turn it to activated-but-suppressed.  Any chance the Issue 18 version of the planner could have such a mode?  I notice all those powers have the suppressible effects marked as suppressible, but as far as I can tell there's nothing in the builder that actually acts on that flag.
