Precognative Combat II

[Col. Orange]

I want a character with instinctive precognition who can use his powers to aid him in combat.

Simple enough; 8pt skill levels, maybe a couple of 10 pointers - but can I link these to his precognition? I want him to loose access to these levels as if he enters a mutant power supression field or the like. Is there another, better way of doing this?

Maybe your GM will be very nice and "GM option" allow the levels as an EC slot for "Precognition Powers".

 

Otherwise I'd probably allow a -1/4 lim "won't work if precog won't". So they won't work if your mutant powers are suppressed, if your opponent is "outside the time stream" and things like that.

I recogmend using a increased Dexterity with a Limitation : Precognitive Defense and Offense Only (-1/4) . It would not apply to Agility based skills , but would increase your CVs , SPD , and Initiative . This way it would not shut off when stunned like Combat Skill Levels , or Defensive Powers that do not have the Advantage Pesistant (+1/2) .

 

How exactly do you want it to work in combat . Not mechcanics wise , but conceptually . (ie ; What it looks like ?)

 

I also recogmend Missle Deflection and Increased SPD with the Limitation : Only for use with Missle Deflection (-1/2) .

I've bought levels as "Psionic" -1/4 and it seemed to work "OK"....ie they twig mental aware and get supressed as a psi power...etc....

Well, he'll be a pretty normal guy, stat wise, at least for a start. His abilities aren't physical - no superspeed, strength, or inhuman reflexes - he just has an unbeliveably developed instinct. In regular life he finds himself stepping to the side, not knowing why, just before a car drives through a nearby puddle. In combat he feels the need to shift his stance or step away just before his opponent throws a roundhouse... or park-bench... or whatever.
