Yes, if the flash attack is set up with a trigger, then you can use it as a 0-phase action on your phase and then perform another attack.

Indeed, but, unless you buy a trigger that automatically resets you have to spend the normal amount of time setting up the attack - it just doesn't take any time to use when it goes off.

 

En effet, mais, à moins que vous achetiez un déclenchement qui automatiquement des remises vous devez passer la quantité normale de temps installant l'attaque - cela juste ne prend pas n'importe quand à l'utilisation quand il va au loin.

Yes, it might be possible to do this with a trigger...

 

25 Sight Group Flash 2d6, Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger resets automatically, immediately after it activates; +1) AE (1 Hex) (25 Active Points) 2

 

However, as a GM, I would look at this with a definate Stop Sign!!! I would assume that this power would more likely be created as AE so that you don't have to even hit a target, just a hex. Then, you'd be able to attack your oppenent at 1/2 DCV.

 

I would say the more proper way to handle this would be just to make the power w/o the trigger (xd6 Flash) and use it WITH the Axe attack as a Multiple Power Attack (you could even Link the Flash to the Axe, in case it couldn't be used separately).

 

I would not allow the trigger attack power... or, if I did, it would only be triggerable by the actual attack (and thus be a worthless power advantage).

Totally legal.

 

Flash xd6 Trigger (Attacking In Melee; Setting Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger resets as a 0 Phase Action) +1

 

The real question is will your GM allow it. On the one hand youre paying twice as much for the Power, on the other hand its a free attack each Phase you attack which is particularly useful when applied to Flash because most opponents don't have Flash Defense, and Flashing them gives you (and any allies) a large combat bonus in later Phases.

 

Tough call. Id have to see it on a character and in context of the campaign to determine if its too powerful or not.
