Hello all,
I'm trying to duplicate an ability you see in fencing movies alot. Basically a character parries an incoming attack into another enemy that is next to him or immediately behind him. I was thinking of modifying the Energy Deflection/Reflection power for this but not sure how to write it up. Any suggestions?

Sadly, the only book-legal attack is with a triggered KA. I'd use the Follow-Through attack talent from FH and change the trigger to "When I Successfully Block an Attack"

See the Melee Reflection Thread (http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45968) started recently in the System Discussion Forum.

Ok, after reading that thread, this is what I came up with:
Parry Into Others: Missile Deflection (Weapon Attacks), Missile Reflection, Reflect At Any Target (40 Active Points); Limited Power Attacks can only reflected into targets behind or to the side of the character (-1), OAF (Weapon of Choice; -1), Conditional Power Melee Attacks Only (-1/2), Requires A Combat Tricks Roll (-1/2)

Do you mind if I steel this and post it on my website as a Fantasy Hero Talent????
