BhelliomRahl Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 A PCs power is based around his ability to create a movable barrier. It can only take the shape of a rectangular solid but it's dimensions can vary. He has used it for a number of things; movement, attack and defense. What he wants to do now is create a small barrier over his shoulder and charge the enemy. It seems a little pointless to me considering he can already attack with it at range, however its his character and choice. I was wondering how to build it. My thought was as a HA attack with AOE Line. The issue was do I need to incorporate an aspect that he has physically moved and also how would you handle the attack roll. Because usually with AOE people target the ground but he would be attempting to target NPCs as he moves. Any input would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just use the power he already uses to attack at range. If what he wants is to make a Full Move and attack, design a Martial Maneuver that has the power as a Weapon Element and permits a Full Move. Otherwise, using the power to attack but in a slightly different way is just like a brick deciding to kick instead of punch - just a different suggestion to the artist about how to draw that panel.

WistfulD Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 If he wants it to be an HA attack, as opposed to just pushing people around, it is the same attack as he has, except with AoE, linked to movement. There's an example in 6E1 about a jetpack that has darkness as an area behind the character (I think in the darkness descriptor area). That should have any other modifiers I can't think of right now.

Sean Waters Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 The whole thing sounds like telekinesis, barrier and flight. I agree with your assessment that what is being described seems to be a special effect of existing abilities. Hand to hand attack could be used to add extra damage if that is the aim, depending on how the rest of it is built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think it should be built has a HA and orginally linked to move through however move by might be better has he can hit multiple targets. And also have linked force field with a limitation only protects the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
