Teleportation UAA

[MikeMitchell]

Couple of questions about using Teleportation as an attack.

 

1) Player wants to have Teleportation UAA as an Area of Effect, Selective. Can he specify different destination hexes for each target?

 

2) It’s not possible to Spread a Teleportation to get a better chance to hit? Or spread to 1 m radius?

1. No.

 

2. 6E2 49-50 specifies that Spreading is most often used with Blast, but that the GM can permit a character to use it with “other Ranged attacks.” So in theory a GM could permit a character to Spread a Teleportation UAA attack, if it had the Ranged (+½) Advantage. However, the rules for Spreading require the character to subtract Damage Classes from the attack, and Teleportation UAA doesn’t really have DCs because it doesn’t do damage. You can, technically, use the rules on 6E2 96-98 to derive “Damage Classes” for it and then subtract them, but that’s obviously not what the DC rules are generally intended for. So that’s another reason why the GM might choose not to allow a character to Spread Teleportation UAA — or might require the character to buy the ability to Spread it by buying Area Of Effect (1m Radius Accurate) as a naked Advantage for the Teleportation UAA.
