How does this ability manifest? Is it like a trap, and you can remove it with a Null Fuse, a regular debuff that can be removed by a Containment Cage, or can you not remove it at all? And does it only affect Base attack or any attack?

it's not marked as a trap the way the krionite minefield and inverse energy vortex are... so i'd have to assume it's a direct debuff, in which case a cage could probably take it off...

but we won't know for sure until combat starts

Yeah, I was hoping Dan would answer, it seems pretty important. I think I'd most prefer if you couldn't remove it, but it only affected Base attack. It seems too strong to not have it removable if it affects regular, and if it's removable it seems like a waste of points.
