(note: I accidental posted this to the official rules question section before noticing the brihgt yellow notice at the top of the page telling me not to do that. I couldn't figure a way to delete that post, whats the proper way/etiquette to do so?)
So prepping for our first game of heros system, using basic rule book and Champions. I've run into a few (more) things I'm not sure of.
I have during the first encounter some icy areas of the battlefield. My understanding at this point is that it will count as "poor footing" Pg 97 BR, and while in it characters will be at -1 DCV unless they can pass a Breakfall roll. About that I have two questions, 1) is that something they take every segment and 2) what happens here specifically, and in general when a skill roll is called for and the character doesn't have said skill?
Along those lines, what would the best kind of roll be for trying to walk/run/fly throw an area having some kind of danger in it (like an electrical current)? Would it be some kind of static acrobatics or dexterity roll, or to give the "challenge" an attack value and just have it strike every time you move through it?
Also, we are (at least initially) using grid maps for combat, each square representing 1m. What is everyone's thoughts on how to count diagonal movement in that case, 1m or two?
