Re: 5e Rules question Forcewall and damage shield 5ERev page 179 says " Force walls are usually immobile, once set up they stay in place. A character can make himself the center of the force wall; the force wall then moves with him, however moving force walls have no STR, then cannot push someone aside or be used for move throughs." the power is set up and a force wall set up on the caster, with a 1d6 Autofire x5, Area Effect hex, penetrating x2, damage shield offensive. I guess my question really stems to this. The way I interpret Damage shield is that you can buy the offensive adv so that the damage shield goes off when you attack via grab, HA, or Maneuver, but those are all attack powers. Forcewall is a defensive power can you use it to make a touch attack against an opponent? Would it be against the targets DCV or a Hex? Can you make attacks with Defensive Powers?

If a character has a Forcewall up with a damage shield can they touch someone with the force wall to deal the damage shield damage?

Does applying the "Usable Against Others" Advantage bar your character from personally using the power it is attached to?
