Autofire Summon

[Captain Pants]

I just learned from Simon in the HDv2 thread that Summon and Autofire is a legal combination, per Steve Long.

What are the mechanics for that? I've always been militant that Autofire only be used for attack powers, and obviously there aren't any attack rolls for Summon. Plus, you can Summon any number of creatures you want, as long as you pay the +5 per x2. So where does AF come in?

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience, as this has likely been covered already somewhere in the forums. I did look for it, but I couldn't find it.

I’m not entirely sure what Dan might be referring to. I don’t recall ever having a conversation with him on the subject, though he and I have so many conversations that it’s entirely possible we discussed it at some point. In any event, 5ER 252 specifically says that Summon “normally do[es]n’t” work with Autofire.

Autofire is not restricted to Attack Powers, again per 5ER 252.
