Variable Advantage (Follow-up)

With regard to the thread at: http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/84400-Variable-Advantage

I was actually wondering what happens when VA is used to add a non-extant Advantage with fixed properties.

For example, I have a (+1/4) VA, and I want to use it to add Indirect to a power that is not already Indirect. However, Indirect at the +1/4 level requires fixing the source point at the time the power is purchased.

Do I specify the Origin point for the Indirect at the time the VA is purchased, at the time the VA is allocated, or can I not use it to buy Indirect at the (+1/4) level at all?

If a character uses Variable Advantage to choose an Advantage that has to be defined some way when purchased (such as defining the Source Point for a power that has Indirect, or the defense for a power with AVAD), the character does not have to definte that Advantage “in advance,” nor is he restricted to using that Advantage in just one way every time he chooses that Advantage. He can change the way the Advantage affects the power, or how its defined aspects are defined, each time he chooses that Advantage with Variable Advantage... unless, of course, the GM rules otherwise.
