Now, I want to be sure I get this right. On 6e1 319:
"The character must choose the type and size of Area Of Effect he wants when he purchases the Power, and cannot change it thereafter (or alter it from use to use during the game)."
Okay, that makes sense. You can't decide you want a Cone now, and a Line later. Got it. And on 6e1 128:
"At the GM’s option, a character can buy a +5 Character Point Adder, Alterable Size, that allows him to change the size of an Area-affecting Constant Power this way."
So, you can shift the size of a Constant AoE power; this makes sense to me, as Constant powers simulate a thing that you set off and they keep going. What I want to know is, how do you simulate an Instant AoE power (let's say Radius, but any of them really) that you can change the size of from shot to shot. Part of me says that, since it's Instant, just shift it as you use it Phase to Phase. Alternately, I could throw Alterable Size on it anyway. For some reason, I have some writeups that put a +1/4 advantage called Adjustable onto AoE (really not sure where I came up with that, if I even did.)

Hi, Steve.
Now, I want to be sure I get this right. On 6e1 319:

the Power, and cannot change it thereafter (or alter it from use to use during the game)."

Help me out, Steve.
