TheDarkness Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I've never used Movement UAA that way. It's an attack action, so I've always had the recipient move on the attacker's Phase and at the attacker's direction. That's kindof the whole point of it being an attack. This post from Steve supports the idea that the target moves as part of the attacker's Phase. Well, Steve knows way better than I. So it's totally doable. And, if you want it to affect people irrespective of their density, Strength, or other factors, it will do the trick. This actually gives me an idea for clinging as the classic UAA- 'away crew of the enterprise gets immobilized by the alien and can only debate the situation while threat assesments are made based on their actions as humans- failure results in a giant weaponized cone going to earth and destroying the planet for the safety of races who leave holographic judge-jury-executioners with control over antimatter-powered death cornucopias and who are blissfully unaware that their creators went extinct centuries before laying around'.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 For some reason teleport vs others makes sense to me going off on the attacker's phase, but running or leaping doesn't. I think because teleport is a power most people don't have, but running and leaping just about everyone can do whenever they want. So it makes sense that they'd move on their phase, since you're not granting a power, you're enhancing one they already have. But since this is a rules mechanic, not a logical expression, it works the way the rules say they do: the attacker has control over the power. *edit: however, you clearly wouldn't get their entire movement, just the part you added.
