Stretching and indirect

[Sean Waters]

A few questions with linked sfx...

Assuming a character has stretching with the +1/4 advantage 'does not cross intervening space', could an attack hit a target that had a force wall that completely englobed him, or would it require that you buy a higher level of indirect?

If a character has stretching (or TK, I suppose) and wants to buy indirect for it does the fact that it is already partially indirect reduce the cost of the advantage?

If a character attacks using stretching which does not cross the intervening space you indicated in an earlier response that the limb is never subject to attack: does this also apply to the target? If it does then can such attacks be blocked as that requires an attack on the opponent's attack?

1. The Does Not Pass Through Intervening Space Advantage does not impart any Indirect properties to Stretching that Stretching does not already possess. If a character wants that type of Stretching to be Indirect, he has to pay for that Advantage.

2. No.

3. I’m not entirely sure I understand this question, but I’ll try to answer what I think you’re asking, and you can post a follow-up if necessary. The Does Not Pass Through Intervening Space Advantage does not render a Stretching attack un-Blockable, or provide any other benefit or expanded attack capacity other than what’s discussed on 5ER 221. It has the effect described in the book, no more, no less.
