Desolid Duplicating

[Naanomi]

If a Desolid character (say... always desolid or innately desolid) has a power to Duplicate a 'completely altered' solid duplicant... does that power need 'Affects the Physical', or is the vulnerability of the duplicant itself, along with the cost boost from altered, enough to cover it?

I’m not entirely sure I understand the question, so I’m going to rephrase it so everyone knows what I’m answering. If I haven’t addressed your actual question, please post a follow-up.

 

Q: Can a Desolidified character who has Duplication create a Duplicate who’s solid and can affect the physical world, or does this require some Advantage(s)?

 

A: Whether to allow a Desolidified character (be he permanently Desolidified, or just able to attain that state whenever he wants) to create a solid Duplicate is up to the GM. Generally speaking the safest course is not to allow this unless the Duplication is bought with the Affects Physical World (+2) Advantage. But if the GM feels that it won’t hurt game balance and the character’s not doing it in a deliberate attempt to avoid the restrictions imposed on him by Desolidification, he can allow it without that Advantage.
