I read the FAQ and FREd to say that the +1 Usable As Attack version of Usable On Others needs an additional +1/4 (or more) Advantage to affect inanimate targets of more than human mass (+1/4 for each doubling). Is this correct, or am I misinterpreting things?
Also, if the FAQ below applies to powers as well as skills (say, granting Power Defense to an object), it should probably be duplicated under the section for Usable On Others.
Q:* If a character wants to apply a Skill to an object — for example, apply Lockpicking to a lock to make it harder to pick (by giving it a high roll for Skill Versus Skill Contests), does that require Usable As Attack, or just Usable By Other?
A: *It requires Usable As Attack; objects aren’t “others†to whom a character can grant powers. That might change if the object were a Computer, or controlled by a Computer, since then there’s a “being†to whom the character can grant the power.
