If you have a power with the "Variable Advantages (+1 Advantages; +2)" advantage, and you choose an Area of Effect advantage as the variable advantage, (I'll use Radius as an example, but the same question applies to any of them except One Hex), how do you determine the size of the area? I see three ways (examples will assume a 5d6 Energy Blast)
1.) Use the Active Points without including the Variable Advantages at all (for a 5d6 EB, that would give a radius of 3")
2.) Don't include the Active Points from the AoE, but include those from the "rest" of the Variable Advantage. In other words, only count half of the Active Points from Variable Advantages as increasing the radius (for a 5d6 EB, this would give a radius of 5")
3.) Count all of the Active Points as increasing the radius (for a 5d6 EB, this gives an 8" radius).
Which of these is correct? Or is there some other option that I'm not considering?
