Trigger question

[grey_goose]

Didn't find anything definitive about this, so here goes...

 

Character A has a "Reactive Teleportion" with a Trigger, condition to allow him to teleport after any attack. See below for full detail.

 

Character B has a held action.

 

Character A teleports into B's LoS to attack. B blasts A, exceeding his CON for a stun/daze.

 

A has a simultaneous attack which he gets off.

 

Now, the question is, does A have to be concious/aware to activate his trigger? Does A get his "Reactive Teleport" ?

 

Should the Trigger parameters (destination of Teleport) be defined before the attack? Should the Teleport go off, but in a 1d6 random direction?

 

More generally, I guess the question is whether Triggers (without the No Conc Cont Lim) require consciousness to define/take an Action of activation.

 

Your thoughts, please

 

Teleportation, Reactive: Teleportation 5", Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger requires a Full Phase to reset; Trigger after any attack; +1/4), Invisible Power Effects, SFX Only (Fully Invisible; +1/2), Reduced END (0 END; +1/2) (22 Active Points); no Noncombat movement (-1/4)

Triggers do not require conscious thought to activate — if they did, all the landmines in the world would become useless when the people who built them went to sleep. It’s all a matter of how you define the Trigger, and what the GM is willing to allow. Many, if not most, Triggers will involve some sort of conscious thought or action, but they don’t all have to.
