JmOz Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I need a power that hurts people at range, but will not likely kill them (but it could): Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlin1 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 RKA, Reduced Penetration? Who's it going to hurt/maybe kill? Norms or supers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Energy Blast. Really depends on the target whether they could be killed or not. Hell, an NND could kill if it hits a target with a susceptibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kolava Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I second the notion of energy blast. It describes exactly what you want to do. (non-killing damage at a range) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlin1 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 12d6 RKA, Megascale AoE, AVLD: Power Defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Callahan Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 How about a Reduced Penetration Energy Blast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlin1 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Ah, IPE. How could I forget the IPE?! A Killing Attack against a very limited form of defense that can easily wipe out just about any form of life in over a 1,000-kilometer radius with no visbile effects-- that's what the original poster's looking for, right?

SCUBA Hero Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Re: Proving a point Originally posted by JmOz I need a power that hurts people at range, but will not likely kill them (but it could): Any thoughts? Energy Blast, Stun Only (-0), and then an Activation Roll on the Stun Only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perfect. It's not likely to kill someone, it's almost guarenteed. A normal EB should work, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPheemy Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 1d6 EB. Will hurt people at range, and is not very likely to kill them. A steal at 5AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 This was to prove a point. By the description above it is an Energy Blast, the point I was making to someone is that in Hero even the simple questions can be answered a bunch of different ways Thank you for your help.

KA. Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Re: Proving a point Originally posted by JmOz I need a power that hurts people at range, but will not likely kill them (but it could): Any thoughts? Well, you could post a question over the internet (at range), that caused people to post replies that would make them look foolish later, (causing them pain) and it might be possible for someone to actually die of embarassment . . . once they found out what was going on. You could even buy it as an NND, with the Defense being Discriminatory Smell, or Detect:Something Fishy. KA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Aw, I missed all the fun. I was gonna suggest 1D6 EB AVLD continuous uncontrolled, 0 END. Just shoot and let it burn on its own. But since it's over, I'll just not suggest that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Actualy the point was that the system was so good, that you could build anything a number of ways, Was not intended to embaress and I appoligise if I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
