HA with AOE

[Slim_McCoy]

This may be a silly question, but it's one of those where the rules and logic don't completely jibe:

If the power Hand Attack is bought with the Area of Effect advantage, is Personal Immunity, Selective Targeting, or Hole in the Middle necessary to keep the character from hitting himself?

Logic tells me that the character would not strike himself, but that's an assumption that doesn't seem to be backed up by the game mechanics.

Couldn't find this one in the FAQ, and I don't have acess to UMA at the moment, so any guidance you could offer would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, an HA with Area Of Effect or Explosion also requires Personal Immunity, Hole In The Middle, Selective, or the like for the character to keep from attacking himself -- just like any other No Range Area Of Effect/Explosion power.
