Desolidification and Usable By Others

[OzMike]

Hey Steve,

 

I've checked and can't find a clear answer.

 

1) If a character can turn Desolid and also has a non-attack power (such as Armor) with the advantage Usable By Others (+1/4) do they also have to purchase Affects Physical World (+2) for the power to be able to have a non-desolid character be granted the power while the initial character is desolid?

 

2) If a character grants the above non-attack power to another character and then turns desolid, does the non-attack power turn off or cease to work for the non-desolid character because it doesn't have the Affects Physical World advantage?

 

Thanks

1. Yes.

 

2. No; once granted to the other character it’s his to control. OTOH, if a character uses a Usable As Attack power on a target and then becomes Desolidified, the UAA power stops affecting the target unless the GM rules otherwise.
