Powerlist Window

The Powerlist Window may be opened by clicking on "Powers" on the outer edge of the Powers Window or selecting "Powers" from the Menu Window.

In the Powerlist Window, you will see all of the powers in your selected power groups. Your primary power set will be on the left and your secondary power set will be in the middle. On the right side of the window will be several sets of powers, including temporary powers, inherent powers, any power pools from which you have selected, and ancillary or patron power pools.

In each power set, any powers you have not gained through training will be shaded and powers you have taken will appear brighter. Any power you have gained through training will allow you to right click to display more information. Powers that are not automatic powers (always active) may be dragged from the Powerlist Window and placed in the power trays in the Powers Window.

This window also gives access to the Combat Attributes Window and the Incarnate Abilities Window.

Editor's note: Although the menu item on the Tray Window to open this one is called "Powers", the actual window name of this window is "Powerlist" not "Powers". The window names "powers" and "power" are aliases for the Tray window, not this one. This introduces a good amount of confusion when talking about the various windows and functions. In an effort to reduce the potential for misunderstanding, I have changed all mentions of the "Power Window" to the "Powerlist Window". Since powers reside in the Tray window, "powerlist" is more accurate as well.
