Half Circle Explosion and other madness

[Killer Shrike]

Hi Steve,


Q Is it be legal to define an Explosion for +1/4 that only explosed in a half circle rather than in a radius? Basically like taking a -1 lim on the advantage itself, or would you have to apply the full +1/2 Explosion and then take a seperate limitation 'Explosion only in Half Circle'?

Q If you apply Explosion to a Contant Power, would it continue to Explode each and every Phase until it terminated?

Q If you buy Explosion for your Strength as a Naked Power Advantage for mega-powered punches, do you need to take Personal Immunity to avoid the backlash?

Q If you had a 0 END Continuous AoE Line power (Wall of Fire basically), and you wanted it to emanate Heat/Flame in one direction outward, could you apply Explosion, only in one direction? And if so, is that really a Limitation or is it +/-0 (since its a decidedly good thing if you happen to be on the non-Exploding side of it which presumably the user of the power generally would be).


Thanx!

1. You can define the Explosion as being smaller than its full size if you want, but it still costs +1/2. It’s too cost effective otherwise, methinks.

2. The standard rules for area-affecting Constant Powers apply. You wouldn’t re-roll the damage each time or anything, you’d just keep applying it to anyone who entered the affected area.

3. Yes, or perhaps Hole In The Middle.

4. Again, keep it at +1/2 and just define it as working in the one direction. It seems to me the benefits and drawbacks balance out.
