I was wondering if there are rules for the "rain of arrows" falling from the sky? The kind of situation where everyone within range is going to get hit once or twice (like an AOE attack) but the potential for getting hit 5 -10 times (like an Autofire attack) is also there. Thanks, SAW

If I'm falling and I have Tunneling can I start my Tunneling so that when I hit the ground I don't take impact damage and just start making my hole? SAW

If I'm in the middle of a field of Darkness to Hearing Group am I completely safe from an Energy Blast that has sonics as it's SFX? Or am I screwed because Darkness does not provide defense? SAW

If you buy 10" of Flight with Usable as Running (or Swimming, or Leaping) does your base movement add to the Flight? Would you end up with 16" of Flight/Running (12" of Swimming, etc.) or just the 10" of Flight/Running? SAW

Hey there Steve, If the victim of a Continuous attack has an Activation Roll on his defenses, possibly from Ablative defenses that have already gone down some, misses his roll on the initial phase can he try to make the Activation Roll in later phases or is he pretty much out of luck? Thanks in advance. SAW P.S. I couldn't find continuous on the FAQ, I looked under Power Advantages and Add-Ons but didn't see it. Is it someplace else or did I miss it?

Hello Steve, I have one question which, depending on your answer, may lead to others so I'm just going to shotgun them at you. 1. Can a character use their inches of Running or Flight to spin in place like a top (or maybe Swimming I don't see any other movement powers being able to do this)? And just to be clear I don't mean move in a circle in the same hex, I mean spin. If the answer is yes then: 1a. Can this be used as the "running" part of a running throw? Kind of like the hammer toss or the discus throw. 1b. Can you use centrifugal force to help you escape being held? Could you convert your movement to STR like using your flight to help you lift something (p. 364 5ER)? Thanks much for your time. SAW

If you have a VPP with the No Skill Roll Required advanage can you still add Requires a Skill Roll on an individual slot if it warrents it? SAW

If you have Find Weakness vs. Mental Defense does it still take range penalties as normal or is it considered to be a mental power and thus has LOS? SAW

For the more highly advanced Discriminatory Senses (like smell for example) is there any difference between a base character and his duplicates or between the duplicates themselves? Or is there no way short of Telepathy to tell the difference? SAW

I can't seem to find my TUV (probably loaned it to someone) and I'm sure this is in there, so sorry to bug you with it but... In vehicle combat if something (like engines or maybe weapons) is bought as OAF is it considered to be "outside" the main DEF of the ship it's on? Or would that be a limitation on the DEF? If it's the latter, is that what the "hull only" limitation on most of the ships in Terran Empire is meant to represent? SAW

Disclaimer: This is not a "Why did you do that?" or a "That's not right!" question. This is an "I think I'm reading this wrong" question. It may seem that way but it really isn't. A couple of weeks ago during our game one of the PCs got hit with Disepl Invisiblity. The character's Invisibility is bought through an IIF. Now I had always thought that if you successfully Dispelled a power bought through a Focus that the Focus was broken until fixed. Not the whole Focus just the power in question. Discussion ensued and it was rulebooks at twenty paces. I then found something on pg. 150 of 5ER. If I'm reading this right then adding a -0 Unbreakable Limitation is equivalent to a +1 Difficult To Dispel (DTD) Advantage. If I am not reading this correctly can you 'splain where I went wrong. SAW

Let's say there is a character that has Invisiblity to many things, including Detect but not to Mental powers, and also has Desolidification without Invisible Power Effects. Would the following sense write-ups be able to "see" the character? 1. A Detect that is defined as being a Mental sense. Is a Detect always a Detect even if it falls into a different category? 2. A Detect Desolidification. Would this work since it's detecting a power not the character? SAW P.S. I don't know if anyone's every said this before but thank you for watching over this forum and answering our questions as quickly as you do.

1. Can you sweep someone and Cover them with both shots or 2. Can you apply your damage with the first hit and Cover with the second? Neither, either/or, or both? SAW

Hope you feel better soon, I'm just getting over a nasty sinus infection myself. It got into my glands and it hurt just to move my tongue, so you have my sympathies. I'm about run for the first time (or play in for that matter) vehicle/base combat. So over the next couple of weeks I'll probably be throwing a few related questions your way. I know that when a character fires a vehicle's weapon he uses the vehicle's OCV, but what about firing a base's weapon? Does the character use his own OCV or is there some common base OCV in the text that I missed? SAW
