Desolidification and Presence Attacks

[Chimera 12]

Does a character with Desolidification need to buy his or her PRE with the Affects Physical World Advantage in order to be able to make Presence Attacks against solid targets while desolidified him- or herself?

No, a Desolidified character can make Presence Attacks against solid characters without the need for any special Advantage, unless the GM rules otherwise for some reason. However, in regard to Presence Attacks involving threats, intimidation, and the like, in most cases the target will be aware of the fact that the character making the Presence Attack is Desolidified, and unless he’s also aware of abilities the character has that would make it possible for him to harm or affect the target, the GM should impose severe penalties on the Presence Attack — so severe, in fact, as to virtually negate it, unless the attacker’s clever enough to find a way around that in how he states his threat.
