New Advantages / Limitations (5E)

[Christougher]

Advantages:

Lesser Range Modifier: This +1/4 advantage reduces applicable Range Modifiers by half: -1 at 4", -2 at 8", -3 at 16", etc.

 

Area of Effect Changeable: For an additional +1/2 advantage, the area of effect can be changed with every use of the power.

 

Area of Effect Variable: For an additional +1/2 advantage on Area of Effect Line, this allows the Line to be bent or twisted to cover areas of unusual but contiguous shape, replacing the Area of Effect Any.

 

Limitations:

Greater Range Modifier: This -1/4 limitation increases applicable Range Modifiers by +1 for every increment: -3 at 4", -6 at 8", -9 at 16", etc.

 

Reduced by Autofire: This -1/2 limitation decreases the amount of damage done by successive autofire shots by 2 DC. There is an additional -1/2 limitation if the weakest shot is the first.

 

Reduced by Range: An additional -1/2 limitation applies if the attack is weaker at close range than at long range.

Questions or comments? These should convert easily to 6E.

 

Author's thoughts:

(Explosion may be considered a variation of Area of Effect + Reduced by Range.)

(Need a simple way to describe minimum to maximum damage vs range.)

Don 't have my book on me, but I thought something like this already existed in 5ER...
