Kudos on TUS, a great read from start to finish. I have a few questions about the speed zone section though.
1) We use the optional velocity damage rules presented in the HERO System were damage is based on your velocity/turn. How would you suggest reconciling this with characters performing move by/through, etc. in the Speed Zone? If I'm moving in the zone at the Attospeed level and perform a 20" Move-By then my velocity is several times the speed of light!
2) The effect of attacks made in the Speed Zone don't occur till I drop out of the zone (or occur so slowly it seems this way.) So if I perform a move through I presume that I take full damage (as to me the character seems to take no knockback) and as I am in the Speed Zone would I take the damage immediately?
3) Whilst a character in the zone moves at Speed Zone velocities; presumably uncontrolled movement still takes place at regular speeds. So if I was to drop off of a tall building or take some knockback would I be effectively frozen in place until normal time resumed?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my queries! They are a tad pedantic but they've been occupying my mind for a few days and it'd be nice to have some 'official' answers.
