Comparatively, Enhanced Stamina gives 100% PL stamina which may be used for any actions in that PL, yet costs only 60 base days whereas Drain Reduction costs 90 base days to apply to a single tech. This is most likely why people have not been using Drain Reduction. This suggests to me that the price of Drain Reduction should be reduced to better represent its utility. -[[User:Alothin|Hroefn]] <sup>'''[[User_talk:Alothin|T]]'''</sup> 10:01, 6 February 2013 (PST) | Comparatively, Enhanced Stamina gives 100% PL stamina which may be used for any actions in that PL, yet costs only 60 base days whereas Drain Reduction costs 90 base days to apply to a single tech.

If one attacked for 400% PL, using a technique that had one iteration of Drain Reduction applied, they would expend 300% stamina. Thus, it more or less gives them another 100% PL stamina versus if they didn't have Drain Reduction. However, as Drain Reduction applies to a single tech, and characters generally expend their stamina on more than one tech in a fight, it's actually less efficient than that.
Comparatively, Enhanced Stamina gives 100% PL stamina which may be used for any actions in that PL, yet costs only 60 base days whereas Drain Reduction costs 90 base days to apply to a single tech. This is most likely why people have not been using Drain Reduction. This suggests to me that the price of Drain Reduction should be reduced to better represent its utility. -Hroefn T 10:01, 6 February 2013 (PST)
