In this mode, potential is not really a factor. It is assumed that an actor has as much potential available to perform any action as well as they possibly can. The exception is when an actor has sustained so many conditions that their potential has been lowered so much that they would not be able to perform a given action in real time or tense time at their maximum capability.

In order to recover from conditions such as fatigue and wounds, the game needs to stay in relaxed time.

Amgus has through his trials and tribulations sustained so many wounds and so much fatigue that his potential has been reduced to a mere 3P. Even in relaxed time, he cannot attempt any action requiring more than 3P.
