Demon High Priest PPE storage

Unread post by Plane »

The 29th page of Hades mentions being able to hold 4x the PPE in reserve if it comes from a sacrifice slain by their own hand. Just wondering:

1) is this storable indefinitely until used?

2) is this in addition to the 3x PPE all spellcasters can store for PE in hours/minutes/melees (depending on source) when overflowing via the 10/minute you get from a ley line?

I think the intention is that spellcasters can generally only hold 3x PPE regardless of source but that demon priests can store 4x if from sacrifice.

But a literal reading would be a separate and additional limit.

Hades, pg 29: P.P.E. acquired from ritual sacrifices or absorbed from a murder can be used immediately or held for 30 minutes per level of the Demon High Priest. As much as four times his own P.P.E. can be held in reserve.

I think if one compared wording between this and both Book of Magic and Mysteries of Magic there would be a good argument that the X4 replaces the normal X3, instead of being in addition.
