Missile deflection


FOUNDATION

Question

In a previous posting, someone asked if a person, thrown at another person, can be missile deflected by the intended target. The answer was yes (as long as it wasn't something like a "fastball" manuver).

 

What about any of the following scenarios (let me know if I should have broken this up into separate postings)...

 

Person "a" is floating in the air as person "b" jumps from some position above person "a" with the intent of attacking person "a".

 

What if person "b" (the missile) is *falling* towards person "a" (the target) - and person "b" is doing so consciously in order to do a "move through". Can person "a" still missile deflect person "b"?

 

What if person "b" is doing a "move by" instead?

 

What if person "b" wants to "fall" by person "a" and just whack person "a" with a weapon instead of doing a move through/by?

 

What if person "b" is not falling but actually flying/gliding in any of the above scenarios (i.e. the difference being that one form of movement is controlled and and the other is not)?

 

Finally, assuming that the situation is such that person "a" can deflect person "b", what if person "b" also has missile deflection? Can person "b" use his missile deflection to attempt to counteract the missile deflection being used by person "a"?

 

Is it legal to use missile deflection in conjunction with TK? In effect, providing missile deflection at range (see below for a description of said individual)? Assuming this is legal and person "a" has something along these lines, can person "b" attempt to use his missile deflection to counteract person "a"'s ranged missile deflection (since it's now ranged).

 

The idea behind the ranged missile deflection was someone who had all sorts tendrels/pseudo pods coming out of his back. These tendrels were constantly whipping around his body - batting away any ranged attacks that were targeting him. The tendrels are TK with an SE of "tendrels/pseudo pods" and a linked uncontrolled missile deflection that is usable at range. If this is not legal in its current form, what (if anything) needs to be done to make it legal?

If one person is thrown at another person as a missile, he can be Deflected. Otherwise, not, since he's not a missile. The Rules FAQ already addresses Move Bys/Throughs.

 

Characters cannot use Missile Deflection "in conjunction with" Telekinesis as you suggest. If you want a character who can simulate that effect, buy Missile Deflection usable at Range.
