Is this legal? If not, why not?
For 102 Points you can have a character who can reflect virtually any attack except area attacks. For that you would probably need a suppression field against the advantage area affect.
I looked up the active points of the BIG GUYS like Dr. Destroyer, Menton, and Takofanes. They went up to 150 active points. This character could handle that.
62 Points (140 active points)
+1/4 Naked Modifier: Range Based on Strength: up to 160 Active Points : Damage Shield (+1/2), Continuous (+1), Usable As Attack (+1) (160 Active Points); Limited Power Must be aware of attack (-1/2), Limited Power Only ranged versus initial target in melee combat (-1/2), Limited Range: Special (-1/4)
40 Points
Missile Reflection, any Ranged Attack
So Range based on strength is forced onto the melee combatants attack which means that simultaneously the character can choose to reflect the attack using their missile reflection. This is accomplished with the usable against other and the damage shield.
The first limitation reflects the fact that the power operates very much like missile deflection/reflection so the character needs to know the attack is coming.
The second limitation indicates that the effect of the usable against others doesn't make the attacker's melee attacks effectively ranged for anyone else.
The third limitation's limited range is simple. It is limited to one hex.
I don't think you should have to buy reduced endurance because the naked power advantage is meant to augment a power that doesn't cost endurance. If you think it should, the power would have a real cost of 71 points and be 160 active points.
So, a power meant to duplicate the effects of missile reflection for melee attacks only costs 61 points with missile reflection active available as well.
Just thinking outside the box. :)
