After-effect enhancement... also Arc AoE

[Tiacapan]

Hello there!

I'm in the process of building a Light Blaster and I wanted to check how a couple of abilities work.

First of all, the After-effect enhancement: if I were to take a Special Attack and After-effect Daze or Confuse to it, does it automatically "hit" and take effect if the initial Special Attack hits and/or does damage? Additionally, do both powers in the After-effect have to have the same ranges/AoEs as each other, ala Linked?

The second question is with the Arc AoE: if I take an Arc with no range, can it still extend out from my character or is it limited to the max "range" of the power?

They both "hit" if they use the same thng TO hit. So Confusion and Special Attack usually do not (Special Attack uses Agility to hit, confusion is Mind vs. Mind). However, Awesome Powers #2 you'll start seeing more flexibility in this regard. For instance, teargas works like Confusion, but targets Brawn instead of Mind...

Cool, thanks for the response.
