GaryB Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Why is it so? Doesn't one start a leap and end a leap as an action? The leap to me doesn't seem to continue past that point. To me, that says instant. I can understand fly or run being so, since they have accelleration and what not. But also, why would powers that use END be considered Persistant?

Simon Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Re: Leaping is persistant? HD lists Leaping as Constant (which, handily enough, is what 5ER lists it as). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryB Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Re: Leaping is persistant? Not that I had a 5ER on hand, but I found the problem. I still had 2.40 which had listed leaping listed as Persistant. Was totally throwing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Waters Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Re: Leaping is persistant? I think that leaping is constant not instant as it can take more than a phase to complete in non-combat mode, so if it wan't constant then you'd wind up moving uncontrolled and crashing and...well you get the picture.

[/quote'] Yes. Once you have targetted yourself with your Leaping, there are no further attack rolls needed in subsequent Phases. One could also argue that it has some aspects of Uncontrolled; if you were, say, Ego Attacked (note no Knockback) [EDIT: to the point of being Stunned or Knocked Out] in the middle of your jump, you would probably continue your jump to its conclusion (though the landing part might be iffy...).

Two in fact: one to start and one to stop. Maybe a leap got defined as not having acceleration from a game stand point for some reason?

The same as any other Movement Power (Except Teleportation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
