Side Effect Modifiers

[Armitage]

What would the additional modifier be for a Side Effect that occurs when a Focus takes damage?

Specifically, a gas-based NND attack bought through a DEF 5 Focus (less than AP/5. Off-the-shelf device). When the Focus takes damage it ruptures, creating the same NND in a No Range 3" Radius cloud lasting for 2 minutes.

Obviously this would be an Extreme Side Effect (Active Points of the Power or more), most likely with 1/4 more for affecting the character and the environment but what frequency modifier would be appropriate for this situation?

1/4 less for requiring a specific action?

I think that's something to leave to the GM's discrection. 1/2 less Limitation is the least I'd consider, personally, since my campaigns rarely involve damage to Foci, but another GM might see that sort of thing happen all the time.
