Dispel + Does Knockback?

[SteveZilla]

Given that Dispel is an All-or-Nothing power, if Dispel has the advantage Does Knockback, can it still cause knockback if the Dispel doesn't achieve a high enough result to dispel the target power?

 

And if the target power is Knockback Resistance, is the knockback (presuming a successful dispel) calculated with or without the Knockback Resistance?

Re: Dispel + Does Knockback?

 

1. No.

 

2. The Knockback Resistance affects, and thus reduces, the Knockback caused by the Dispel. Thereafter, the character doesn’t have any KBR until he “restores” it somehow, so attacks that do Knockback affect him in full, with no reduction.
