I'd rule that a Power Block doubles the Absorption Battery's Capacity. (Absorption +1, (+80%; Requires Active Defense, -40%) +48%) appears to be a valid method of achieving the effect if the GM rules otherwise. And: (Absorption +1, (+80%; Affects Others 1, +50%; Ranged, +40%; NO Absorption, -100%) +72%; Selectivity, +10%) looks to be a good way to add a ranged option to a more standard Absorption (without interfering with the more standard Absorption's typical functions), with the understanding that this now requires a successful ranged attack, is visible, must penetrate DR and can be defended against by the normal methods if used at range. Modify to taste.
