Default Re: Confused by the FAQ on Afflictions

Reasonably so? Rev offered alternatives while the thread discusses other beneficial afflictions.

A better example would be shape shifting, ala the "I turn you into a toad" affliction. As a GM I would not require you to spend 10 seconds concentrating on the target (or force the target to take specific maneuvers) while the affliction kicks in. Instead, it would be cast and what follows happens non-interactively. What is going to happen should be (where there are options like a destination of warp) specified upon first use.

Where you are gifting a power, you can specify "I am giving this advantage to the user as if they had it for the duration" as an effect.
