Timing steps of a Beam or Area of Effect attack

[scottp]

Appendix A has a great breakdown of a normal attack step. I've seen references to Beam and Area of Effect attacks use a different timing, but I haven't been able to find a detailed version like the one found in Appendix A.

Would Step 3 Pay Power, become Step 2, and Step 2: Declare an enemy character as the target of the attack become Step 4, with a new Step 3 for Beams that places the range ruler?

Do we have a similar one to Appendix A for Beams and Area of Effect to use?

Beam and Area attacks do not have a similar breakdown, the modifications they make are found on page 16 of the current rulebook.

Essentially, yes.
