Baron Strucker, Arrogance & Beam attacks

[Whitewarlock87]

We were playing Separation Anxiety and someone had Baron Strucker with a sonic rifle. Now the sonic rifle is a beam attack and Baron Strucker has the super power “Arrogance”, which allows him to use 1 power to count skulls as successes in the attack & defense roles. How does something like that work for beam attack. Does he HAVE to:

-spend 1 per target if he wants to use it (total 3 power because there were 3 targets in this case)

-or does he spend 1 power total for the entire beam attack and it applies to all the targets

-or can he choose to use it on whatever targets he wants individually in the beam as he resolves each attack (ie only use it on 2 of the 3 targets)?

This is correct.

He would decide whether or not to use it during each individual attack and could use it on none, all or any combination of characters he is attacking.
