Power Build Question: Manipulate your own projectile

[AdamLeisemann]

Let's say you had an energy blaster who could manipulate her own energy blasts so they they could change direction when neccesary, making it possible to maneuver it around people you don't want to hit and go after the person you do want to hit.

 

How would you make such a power, whether it be an Energy Blast or a Ranged Killing Attack? The interest is in the modifiers.

i'd just make the attack indirect

Re: Power Build Question: Manipulate your own projectile

 

I'll second the indirect. You may want to add some CSLs for the attack as well to show just how skilled they are with the blast.

Re: Power Build Question: Manipulate your own projectile

 

That's indirect.

by the way do you mean a power like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIshOOX0-lA

Either indirect or

 

Standard Energy Blast with lots of skill levels to bounce it multiple times to accomplish the same effect.

First, if you Manipulate your own projectile, you will go blind. Other than that, indirect.

Poor Dan Turpin......

 

BTW, I might add a "Requires a skill roll" modifier to the indirect, lest you accidentally zing

your beams into some poor bystander.

That's not quite what I initially envisioned, but I beleive that is a very acurate example of what I am looking at.

Lat time I checked, the part you manipulated was not the projectile. And the blindness thing; total myth.

 

As far as Indirect goes, that does seem to be the common answer. Thanks everyone.

It seems in repping everyone else, I've given too much out. I'll have to wait until tomarrow to rep you.

One additional idea to think about to add to the indirect is No Range Modifier. The idea being if that you are shooting it over long distances, you can steer it into the target. However, you can also accomplish that with the skill levels.

Re: Power Build Question: Manipulate your own projectile

 

I'd go for Indirect as stated above. It's one of my favorite things to add to an EB. Nothing beats shooting someone, making them think you missed, when actually, you just aimed your beam so it would hit them in the back of the head.

The two ways that come to mind....1) Indirect, the manuvering is SFX

2) AE: 1 Hex; Accurate, the manuvering is SFX

 

I see a pattern...heck buy +10 OCV and use SFX, just depends on what all you're looking for...

Re: Power Build Question: Manipulate your own projectile

 

my UK black Ops supers the Tower Ravens have a member with that sort of ability

 

shes the teams sniper and a long range low intensity telekinetic basically any item she psychically tags (works best with metals for some reason) she can view with clairessence detect its location and manipulate with a small amount of telekinetic force up to 100 miles away. mostly she uses this to make impossible shots but she can also use it to track spy on and communicate with anyone holding one of her tagged items.

 

main effects are

 

bonus to OCV

indirect

armour piercing (guides the bullet to a chink in the armour)

Extra damage moving the round after its penetrated to do more damage
