Temporal Inertia

Cost: 15 points

Temporal Inertia is a supernatural mental Advantage where if history changes, you can remember both versions, and cannot be wiped from existence by a grandfather paradox.

Not to be confused with

• Temporal Inertia -- A trait of a timeline's habit of playing out scenarios similarly to an assumed baseline. A "high inertia" timeline may have differences from its parallel, but will play out similarly. For instance, Reality Goblin having goblins, but being surprisingly similar to the Georgian era of England (circa 1830s).
  • This usually also means that crosstime cultural/technological spread is less likely. For instance, worlds with Supers may have nanotech, teleportation circles, and sapient AIs, but only among metahumans and gadgeteers--meanwhile, the average tech level of an ordinary person is still intact, and culture is a close echo of a Super-less timeline.
