Aura and my Weapon

B105:

The cost of Follow-Up equals the sum of the costs of whichever of the following modifiers apply to the carrier attack: Always On, Aura, ..

Sounds like you could define an Aura as a carrier.

That's a fair point, but that would require the Aura to hit first and then the weapon to hit as well.

Aura could have a follow up, like say poison after the acid blood dissolves your armor. The advantage of follow ups is that they don't have to hit or penetrate DR again, so while Aura could be part of the initial attack I can't really envision a good case where it would be part of an attack after it already hit and penetrated but not when the attack contacted.

Oh I see. Then follow-up on aura would be an 80% from aura and a -30% from the melee requisite, thus the 50% you mentioned before.
