Dispel and Area Effect

[bigdamnhero]

Say a character has a Dispel power, with an Area Of Effect but not Expanded Effect. Say there are three targets in the Area Of Effect. Does the Dispel affect one power on each target, or does it affect all powers of all three targets? Thanks,

Re: Dispel and Area Effect

 

It would affect the Power it’s defined as affecting on all targets within the Area. In the event a target has more than one ability built with that Power, the GM picks which one is affected (or can permit the attacker to choose, if he would have the knowledge to do so).

 

Example: Trogdor the Dispellanator has Dispel Blast 12d6, Area Of Effect (8m Radius). He uses it on an Area in which there are four targets. Each target suffers a Dispel 12d6 of his Blast power. One target, however, has two Blasts — an eyebeam he can project, and a raygun he carries. For him, the GM chooses whether the eyebeam or pistol is the power affected.
