we still have this discussion going and I am here to make certain if my interpretation of the rules is wrong or not.
It is my understanding that all attack powers have the implied game effect of being considered an attack, once perceived. So you can't define, with any special effect, that a victim, bystander or the law enforcement (when able to perceive/proof the use) would not consider it an attack.
However, this does not say anything about how this "attack" is viewed or evaluated.
- A victim may consider it okay to be "slapped" out of a mind controll/mental illusion
- the bystanders may not have a problem with a super beating up menton
- the use of certain levels of force may be considered legal, when preventing greater harm
- some person have the legal right to apply certain levels of harm (police, towards restraining and use of guns).
This is just about if any use of a attack power has to go through this evaluation and if this is in fact a "game effect" of using an attack power, not a part of the special effect.
Of course the result of the evaluation can be very short and clear beforehand (We are the good guys. They are the bad guys. We don't use deadly force. So no need to even think about it).
