Can’t Catch Me and paying power for attacks

[BeepBeepRichie]

The tigger for Can’t Catch Me is “when this character is targeted by an attack.” Which is step 2 in appendix A. If by step 2c. Quicksilver is no longer in range for the attack, Can’t Catch Me’s “the attacker may make another action” triggers. With this timing, is power for the initial attack ever spent? You basically never get to step 3 in this situation.

You are correct. You have not made it to step 3 when the attack is stopped so power will not be spent for regular attacks.

Beam and area attacks however pay earlier so their power will be spent.
