Absorbtion w/ Area of Effect

[Guest Volt]

As I recall, the description of Absorbtion in the big black book includes AOE as a possible advantage. How exactly does that work? Does that mean any attack that goes off within the area is absorbed? How do you define 'attack'? For example, if you're near a power line with electricity running through it, does that count as an attack so that it can be absorbed?

 

Thanks

Area Of Effect makes a character’s Absorption work against any attack made within the area covered, whether the attack is against him or not. It does not work against things that are not attacks, such as running water or electrical lines.
