I've got a .pdf, so I suffer.<br/><br/>You only need to spend PP if it's required for them to work (i.e. the SFX says "spend a PP to do X") or if you want what a PP does. So with, say, You. ARE. Nothing! you can use it without spending a PP. You only need to spend a PP if you wish to step up the Mental/Emotional Stress die. In the case of Energy Absorption, you only need to spend a PP if you want to use it and your reaction to an energy attack was unsuccessful. With The Shield Is All I Need, no PP spending is required.<br/><br/>Question of my own, I guess. Could I just use my SFX to "Spend 1 PP to recover your physical stress and step back physical trauma." right away after I fail the die roll, or do I need to wait until it's my turn? I suppose it's somewhat moot since the enemies are all acting together at the same time, but just wondering.
