Ranged MA with Area Affect EBs

[Moonblade]

Steve,

This may be simply a "What the GM permits" thing, but I'm designing a character with some AOE attacks; the classic No Range Cone and Line. Since the AP limit in our campaign is the typical 60 pts, that leaves me with 6d6 attacks. Then I realized that I could add the established Ranged MAs and get 8-10d6 attacks with them. Is that legal under the rules as defined (as opposed to House Rules)?

First, I'll note that you're not necessarily limited to 6d6 in this situation under the 6E rules. ;)

Second, since you're dealing with a power/effectiveness ceiling, this is totally the GM's territory. In my experience most GMs take a dim view of characters using Ranged Martial Arts or any other rules to bypass the "cap," but you never know how a given GM will react.
