Affects Others Modifier?

[nerdvana]

I can't find an Affects Others Modifier. I'm sure I'm overlooking it. I'm wanting to take a trait that normally only affects the character possessing it, and having it affect others. I could, I guess, make it a benefitial affliction, but I'm looking at just having it be able to affect others directly.

Check in Powers. It's a +50% per additional person you can affect.

(p107 of GURPS Powers, specifically) Thanks, cccwebs. Follow up question (for you or anyone else), how about if the advantage isn't going to apply to yourself? I'm revisitng an idea from an old thread (specifically post #14 by LemmingLord). So I'm applying Affects Others and Area Affect to a Language that the character already speaks. The reason the character will need to buy both is due to the Telepathic (-10%) limiter on the ability (among others).

If this is just a communication thing, use Telesend (Universal, +50%) and Mind Reading (Universal, +50%). You could even add in Sense-Based:Hearing, -20% to both if they act like "universal translators" (ie, others "hear" what the character is saying in thier own language and the character "hears" what the others are saying in his own language).
