Triggered

An Instant Duration FX with this extra can be "set" to activate under particular circumstances, such as in response to a particular danger, after a set amount of time has passed, in response to a particular event, and so forth. The circumstances must be detectable by your senses. You can acquire Enhanced Senses Limited to Triggered FX, if desired. Setting the FX requires the same action as using it normally. Any necessary rolls are made when you set the FX's trigger. Setting the FX requires the same action as using it normally.
A Triggered FX lying in wait may be detected with a Perception check (DC 10 + FX rank) and in some cases disarmed with a successful Infiltration check or with an appropriate FX (such as Nullify or another countering FX) with a DC of (10 + FX rank).
A Triggered FX is good for one use, an instant duration. You can apply the Duration modifier to the FX as a whole to extend the trigger's duration, allowing the FX to go off multiple times, so long as its duration lasts (this usually requires a Continuous Duration). This does not affect the normal duration of the triggered FX itself.
If you apply this extra a second time, you can change the trigger condition each time you set it.
