6e - Reflection

[director13]

A character with Reflection (only Energy Beams) attempts to Block the blast from a laser rifle (with his hands).

 

Would the normal penalties for Blocking unarmed be applicable?

I'm the GM in question, and I'm still not sure.

 

Thanks!

Typically, yes they would. Just because a character’s bought Reflection doesn’t necessarily mean it changes any of the standard rules pertaining to Blocking Ranged attacks. However, as GM you could certainly rule that it did, in light of special effects or what have you. Or you could allow a character to buy appropriate Penalty Skill Levels (or the like) to negate the penalties.
