Can a character buy Aid (or Drain, Absorbtion, etc.) to Defense (which is halved by the RAW) and then apply the Expanded Effect advantage to Double up a single Characteristic or Defense thereby applying the full effect dice to that element? I cannot find anything that disallows this and I am inclined to allow it. What is the official take on it?
Example: The Penetrator wants a Drain which breaks down a target's Physical Defense and constructs it as such.
50 Penetration: Drain PD 2d6, Expanded Effect FULL PD + Resistant Protection PD (+1 1/2) (50 Active Points)
