There are some icons in the new manual that have me confused. I'm assuming they're just for layout, but just-in-case ...

The main one is a little radioactive symbol. Upside down Y in a circle ... kinda like (Y)

It's under Monster Standard Actions:

Machine Slam (Y) At-Will

Or Origin Powers:

At-Will (Y) Dark, Physical

What does this symbol mean? Is it just typographic?

The other is the Sun-burst ... as seen under Blood Bird (Red Death) Traits:
(*) Radioactive Plumage (Y) At-Will

It's not listed under Attack Types like the other icons.

Can ya toss a poor refuge-of-the-road a bone here please?

Thanks!

Any thoughts on the Sun-Burst symbol (referenced above)?

That's the indicator for an Aura.
