Re: Bear

 

In my world

 

the martial damage class bonuses would have to filter through the effects real world advantage

when used with his strength effects real world

which means the added martial damage classes would be divided by 3

when Bear is desolid.

[TheQuestionMan]

Re: Bear

 

Hmmm... I am glad your not my GM then.

 

It is supposed to read 20 Strength Affects the Physical World, But Hero Designer and I have a love hate relationship. By definition Martial Arts and Damage Classes do not count to the Naked Advantage: Affects Physical World (+2) for up to 20 Active Points (40 Active Points). It is a matter of Skill. I can understand a GM vetoing the Power however. In which case I have another character in mind. Thanks for the input.

Re: Bear

 

Bear

 

he'd still be doing 5 dice +1 while desolid or 27 strength grabs and disarms

 

that should be effective if no one can hurt him

There is a problem with the first quote, it should end "......isn't it ?"

I only know for certain for 6E, but there Affects Desolidified does not count for DC calculation. It's a surcharge for being able to attack while Desolid, wich does not affects how the target takes damage or is hit.

 

Regarding what Affects Desolid would have too cover:

I think it has to cover STR and HKA for weapons if you want to use both, so it might also have to cover the Martial Arts DC as well.

It's entirely a balancing thing, what Special Effect your STR/Damage has isn't important at all.

[Hugh Neilson]

Re: Bear

 

This comes back to the question of whether Affects Solid World is more appropriately a modifier to the attack, or to Desolid itself ("character can affect solid world").

Re: Bear

 

This comes back to the question of whether Affects Solid World is more appropriately a modifier to the attack' date=' or to Desolid itself ("character can affect solid world").[/quote']

Desolid is at least 100% resistant Energy Damge Reduction + 100% resistant Physical Damage reduction + A sort of NND tunneling (stopped by an advantage) + some advantages and weaknesses trown into the mix (inlcuding the "can't attack"). So if you want those effects and being able to attack freely, it will propably break any characters point limit. Because your chardacter is invicible, except by one special effect.

 

I think it is better to apply the surcharge on the power. After all it is not having an attack and desolid that is important, but being able to use that attack while desolid (against non desolid targets). It's not unsimilar to Indirect and Barriers in that regard.

Now I am very confused.

aw but indirect is only a +1/4 so can be applied to larger based attacks

 

 

one way to handle a +2 advantage is to build a power with a low base cost and stack it with a lot advantages to boost it's power on the low base cost

 

buy no normal defense

...or start with a power opponents general don't have like flash, drain, ego bolt

...or increased knockback (most opponents don;t have knock back resist

 

get area of effect selective constant

 

2d6 flash ( is there a does stun advantage ? )

[Christopher]

Re: Bear

 

aw but indirect is only a +1/4 so can be applied to larger based attacks

Like I said, the +2 is entirely balacning of "being able to attack while Desolid". The can allow the AP cap to be exceed for that, but it will still be a very costly attack (points and Endurance Cost).

 

2d6 flash ( is there a does stun advantage ? )

Not yet, but the +1 for Does body is a starting point.

 

Random Note: reading up on Does Body I noticed that you can't apply it to attacks that don't do stun damage (like Flash), as it is designed for AVAD Killing/Normal Damage Attacks.
