Metaphysician Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Anybody ever built a character with this, or seen one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 One, He was a gadgeteer who liked to use flash grenades. Not sure why you would both since AP/Penetrating Flash is almost unheard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 The only time you would need the power is vs an AVLD killing attack. And then only a gadgeteer or mage would be able to produce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike W Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yeah. My brain's not working today. At any rate, I saw a character(once) built with 5 point of Flash Def, resistant, hardened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Raven Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Re: Resistant Flash Defense Originally posted by Metaphysician Anybody ever built a character with this, or seen one?? Never made one. Never seen one. Now you've got me curious and I'll spend the rest of the week trying to think up SFXs that would call for AVLD Killing Attacks versus Flash Defense.

Best I could come up with was the class D&D Nymph Aura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've got me curious and I'll spend the rest of the week trying to think up SFXs that would call for AVLD Killing Attacks versus Flash Defense. Perhaps because I run AVLD as a +2 advantage that does BODY, I've actually seen a few of these. One was vs Hearing Group to reflect the ability to cause internal injuries by bursting someone's ear drums. Another was an interesting take on a poison gas, defined AVLD vs Flash Defense Olfactory (smell/taste). To properly work it also had "no effect against proper immunity" limitation. The "Nymph Aura" isn't one I thought of - probably because having a female player limits my options sometimes RE: AP and Penetrating Flash. As I interprete how they work, Penetrating Flash would be useless since nothing is done with the STUN portion of Flash dice. I've seen AP used a few times, though.

Dust Raven Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 My roommate came up with one idea: The mandrake (from Harry Potter). The young ones might not have the Does BODY advantage yet. The idea is to kill, so it should be a killing attack I suppose (and a really expensive one too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaphysician Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Another usage would be blocking NNDs and AVLDs that target resistant Flash defense, whether they cause Body or not. For instance, a visual Flash that constitutes shrinking down, entering the targets body, and then jumping up and down on their optic nerve might target resistant Flash Defense.
