I am trying to create a Teleporter who can teleport with other creatures (willing or otherwise) if he has them in a grab. In previous editions, I could do this simply by buying Increased Mass for the Teleport, and have a grabbed target move with me (just like with any other movement power). However, 5ER states "If the additional mass is additional persons, those persons have to want to be Teleported; involuntarily Teleporting someone requires the Usable As Attack Advantage."
Looking under Usable On Others (Usable As Attack), it states that "A Usable As Attack power is only usable as an attack — the character cannot use it himself for its normal purpose." So, how do you build a power that allows you to teleport both yourself and someone you hold? Do you have to buy a UAA teleport with a linked normal Teleport? Is it more expensive than a simple UAA that teleports the target only (which means it's easier to put the target in a hazardous area without endangering yourself)?
