eepjr24 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Emphasis mine: 6e1, 345 "Characters can only buy this Advantage for powers that require no conscious control from the character after the initial attack, such as Entangles and attacks bought with the Advantage Uncontrolled." So I guess the answer is technically yes, but you would also have to buy Usable as Attack (+1 1/4) on it first. Much easier just to by Usable By Others and Usable Simultaneously at the appropriate level. - E Ninja-Bear and Netzilla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorloc Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm in a 5th ed. game, I guess they changed the wording to handle this exact question. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eepjr24 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 5er has the same wording on page 268. I don't have my original 5e book handy, but 4e was a bit more vague. I remember someone trying it in a 4e game I think and the GM just looked at him like he was nuts and told him if he really wanted to do that, all the villains would be doing it too. The player opted not to. - E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorloc Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I was using my Champions 4th book and Fantasy Hero 5th. Fantasy Hero is extremely vague on crunch; it rarely tells you how many points something costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite: "This Advantage can only be bought on Powers that require no conscious control from the character, like Entangles and attacks bought with the Power Advantage Uncontrolled." Missing the "after the initial attack", which makes it just vague enough that people tried to put it on characteristics and defensive powers. - E Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
