Hi, I was wondering if Simoun's ability " Add your Perception skill to your check to defeat a barrier that has the (Obstacle or) Trap trait" is a mandatory power or one you can activate.
I was curious since the power doesn't say "you may" and follows a different syntax than Drelm's similar power.
Collapsing Scaffolding (If the result of the first check to defeat exceeds the result of the second check, take dmg etc) wants you to roll lower on the first check, so this is where choosing not to activate her power, if possible, could be helpful.
Is her power always on, or can you choose not to add your perception?
