Duplication/Feedback in AOE

[Robyn]

A character creates 4 Duplicates of herself, and all 5 of them have 10 Body apiece. All 5 of them are then caught in an Area of Effect attack that, after defenses, would deal exactly 2 damage to each. Would their Feedback (if taken for Stun and Body) cause them all to die?

If so, could I reduce the value of Feedback to prevent her from taking damage more than once for any single attack?

(I had another question about altering the scope of what Feedback covers, one power/SFX at a time, but you already answered (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3677) a similar question. Thanks.)

From page 32 of The Ultimate Metamorph:


If more than one Duplicate takes damage from a single attack with a single Attack Roll (such as an Area Of Effect attack, or Autofire used against one target), all the Duplicates do not take damage multiple times. Instead, determine the largest amount of damage taken by any one Duplicate, then apply that to all of them. For attacks that involve multiple Attack Rolls (such as Area Of Effect Nonselective, Autofire used against multiple targets, and Rapid Fire/Sweep used against single or multiple targets), the entire group of Duplicates takes damage from every attack that hits (unless the GM rules otherwise in the interest of common sense, dramatic sense, game balance, and other factors).
