Aging attacks and growing things

Affliction allows for a resistance roll, and I don’t think Affects Others works at all on those who reject it.

Would that mean if you don't consent to have DR w/ Force Field protect you it doesn't?

Seeing as the way the Advantage works is that everyone gets a personal forcefield, I’d say that interpretation is correct. If you want to create a single forcefield bubble around a group, I’d argue that should use something like Innate Attack with Area Effect and Wall. Of course, the GM can rule otherwise.

Actually with DR you can add Afects Others, FF and Area Effect to get that result.
But yes, I would say the Unaging with Affects Others only works if they want it to.

We covered some of this ground five years ago, when I was working on a damage modifier for IAs that would handle aging attacks. That thread might have some points of interest, Proposal for an Aging Innate Attack.

Progeria isn't early aging, but early aging from an attack might be very much like progeria. You don't get bigger and stronger, instead you lose the ability to become bigger and stronger by skipping years.
