Jared Rann Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have been having trouble with an attack I'm trying to create for a character. I would like to have an audio flash attack along with a visual flash attack. Maybe I haven't played around enough with it, but herodesigner doesn't seem to let me link the two powers since it's not based on a characteristic. I have tried configuring the audio flash as a separte power with some limitations applied to it, but am not real happy with the results. Anyone have any ideas?

Lord Liaden Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Linked Powers Normally, multiple-Sense-affecting Flash attacks are bought through the use of an Adder. It costs +10 Character Points for each additional Targeting Sense Group after the first one, or +5 points for a Nontargeting Sense (Hearing being nontargeting). The only reason to use Linked in this case would be if you want one of these Flashes to be usable separately from the other. Otherwise I'd suggest just buying the amount of Sight Group (visual) Flash that you want, then applying a +5 Adder to let it work against the Hearing Group (audio). Hero Designer should have all the Adder options for Flash. If that doesn't match what you want, please post a followup clarification.

Jared Rann Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Linked Powers Thanks, I'll give this a try when I get a chance. Sounds like what I am looking for, sounds easy enough, don't know why I didn't think of that. Just trying to formulate some sort of cosmic burst that will affect sight and hearing, almost like a bright explosion with deafening qualities.

CourtFool Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Linked Powers If you wanted to add Flash with something else, like say an Energy Blast, I would look at Compound Power in Hero Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Linked Powers Here's a basic version of what you described: 60 Flash-Bang: Sight and Hearing Groups Flash 5d6, Area Of Effect (3" Radius; +1) (60 Active Points) - END=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silbeg Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re: Linked Powers what are you trying to do when you are trying to link the two powers? All you should need to do is select the limitation (modifier) linked on one of the powers, and then select the power it is linked to.
