Expanded effect on adjustment powers..

[Dr. MID-Nite]

Ok....I've read the FAQs and I still don't quite get it. I need an example to visualize it. So.....

I've got a 1d6 Drain with the +2 advantage to affect all powers(characteristics) of a given special effect simultaneously. Let's say it's set to drain six primary characteristics. I roll a 6. Now.....is 1 point drained from each of the six stats....or is 6 points drained from each stat? The former seems useless for the cost while the latter seems ridiculously powerful. In any event...I'm still not sure which is "official". Any light shed on this would be great as I'm reluctant to even attempt to use adjustment powers without a ruling on this issue..

Thanks,
Rob

6 Character Points are Drained from each of the affected Characteristics or Powers. I don't think the it's ridiculously powerful; you're paying for a +2 Advantage, after all, which triples the power's cost. If you find that it's unbalancing your campaign, forbid characters to buy it.
