This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Before I go trolling the Official M&M boards I thought I'd ask you guys.

I'm creating a hero called Monstergirl. She has a poisonous (paralysis) bite attack.

The poison part is easy: it's a drain(dex only) +6.

The bite part is easy, it's a strike +10.

I want to set it up so that she can only use the poison part upon successfully biting someone. But it should be optional, like maybe she bites some guys and doesn't poison them.
 
I don't want to be abusive of the rules by allowing her two effects in a single attack. Unless that is exactly how it is supposed to work...

I guess I need to study the example of the vampire in the book because it is set up similarly.

Upon looking at both the Vampire Lord and the poisonous snake examples, it seems I should just buy them separately. When she attacks to poison, she uses the drain DC and when she attacks to damage, she uses the strike DC.

SECOND ANSWER:

"Use the linked extra".

This is actually the better option.
