Sticking an Attack Power + AoE to a target

[lifo]

On 6E 128 states:

"To create an Area-affecting Constant Power that “sticks to” another character and moves as he moves, use the Usable As Attack Advantage."

 

Does it mean that I have to apply the UAA advantage even to Attack Powers, that are obviously already usable as attacks?

 

And, in case the answer to the previous question is "yes", do I have to buy the ranged version of UAA, even if the power is already ranged?

 

Thanks!

 

PS: Sorry for the double post, but I the second question came up later to me and I couldn't stand the title typo.

1. Yes, that's exactly what it means. Names aside, UAA is the "force this power on another character" Advantage. Nothing about any of the Attack Powers allows you to "stick" an Area-affecting attack to someone and have it move as he moves. To do that, you need UAA.

 

2. Yes, you still have to buy Ranged, even if the underlying Power is Ranged already.

 

3. No worries on the double post; that's happened to all of us a time or two I expect.
