do Linked powers use the same roll?

If you have two powers to attack an opponent with such as:
Special Attack + Daze
or
Daze + Weaken
or
Immobilize + Nullify

etc...
If you have the two linked do you roll ONCE for both effects to happen? Or do you roll individually? What if one is a MIND roll and the other AGILITY to hit? Does that matter?

Also...
In general if you have a power that is an attack power that doesn't specify HOW to attack, what is the assumed roll to hit? Agility or Mind?

think I know the answers but I want to understand if I'm reading (and have been playing it) correctly.
thanks!

I have players just roll once. They use the same 2d6 result for both things, even if the multipliers are different. So if one effect is x3 and the other is x5, and they roll 8, they got a 24 and a 40 respectively.

Presume Agility unless Mind is specifically stated as being used to hit.

ROCK. Thanks for the answers!

Hey, that makes me think of another question... not sure I have a want to do so (so far) with any characters I've thought of... BUT. With your note above it makes me wonder.

If you "default" to Agility for rolls to hit with powers that don't state otherwise. Is there an Enhancement (or would it be within the spirit of the rules to make one) that allows a character to SWAP and use MIND instead. (or for that matter, switch to use Agility from Mind... or even switch to Brawn?). If so, would that be a 1pt Enhancement or more?
