  1. Is this a legal build

    Re: Is this a legal build

     

    so would that be what I'm looking for then?

     

    _______________________________________________________________

    Warp Field Distortion Effect: Change Environment 1" radius, -7 OCV, Personal Immunity (+1/4), Delayed Endurance (once per Turn; +1/4), Mobile (+1/2) (70 Active Points); Limited Power Only for targeting the Hex the CE is on (-1 1/2).

    Erg' date=' first, we're [i']peers[/i], not pears. That aside, this fails the whole SFX reasonability thing. You aren't surrounding YOURSELF with the field, you're surrounding THEM in the field. If you want to make YOURSELF harder to hit, those are 5 point CSLs, to raise DCV (a dedicated DCV CSL) which you can then apply modifiers too, such as "Costs END" and so on.

     

    First I corrected the Pears to Peers thing :)

    Second I already got anough DCV when my main power is active (Reached cap) so this is not what I'm trying to make.

    What I'm trying to make is a power that will make AoE powers harder to target my Hex (since my high DCV doesn't help me against them) so I tried to do it Via Negative Combat Skill levels with range and such but was informed(by amongst others) that I should use CE

    so what should I do????

    TIA R.E.P.

    First Build(the triggered Dodge thing) is abandoned I will not use for various reasons given here and some of my own as well

     

    after reading about the triggered Negative Combat Skill Levels remarks you had and you recommending me to use a CE instead I present this power to be Judged by this esteemed court of my peers (;-P)

     

    ________________________________________________________________

    *Warp Field Distortion Effect: Change Environment 1" radius, -6 OCV,

    *Line Of Sight (+1/2), Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that

    *takes no time, Trigger resets automatically, immediately after it activates;

    *+1) (75 Active Points);Instant (-1/2), Limited Power Only for Targeting my

    *Hex with an AoE attack (-1/2).

    ________________________________________________________________

     

     

    The effect is that I have a Warp Field around me that makes me harder to hit even with AoE attacks (it not only make it harder to target me[which I already have through DCV bonuses] but also have a deflecting effect almost that will make attacks less likely to land at my Hex)

    Negative skill levels have no Range. What you are looking for is Change Environment (Self Only).

    thats why I added the "Ranged" advantage and if I did do a "Change Environment" "Self Only" how would that help me if I wish to hinder the attacker ability to hit me even when he is using an AoE power??

    Re: Is this a legal build

     

    Thanks for the responses(I since then abandoned this build for a modified build based on the second build I posted in this thread)

     

     

    I'd guess a slightly less ugly way is a Trigger Desolid build...but personally I pretty much consider the "One action per Phase" as sacred practice.....so I'd not allow it.

     

    If you want to run away from danger...hold your phase...but that's just me.

     

    The build as is basically doubles your speed so that in it's self might raise "issues"....

     

    Thats why I added the require a full Phase to "Recharge" the Trigger so it will take up my next phase and just be like a normal abort with the added advantage of being able to do it even if you already acted that phase

     

    (IE: I[the character] am in a combat against two opponents that already acted and I attack one of them and then out of the blue comes a third opponent and attacks me on the same phase I already acted on so I can't Abort but this power will allow me to "sacrifice" my next phase to Abort anyway)

     

    EDIT:Just for completeness here is the build I went for

     

    Warp Field Distortion effect: Negative Combat Skill Levels (-6 to opponent's OCV), Reduced Endurance (1/2 END; +1/4), Ranged (+1/2), Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger resets automatically, immediately after it activates, Character does not control activation of personal Trigger; When being attacked by AoE powers that target my Hex; +3/4) (75 Active Points);Requires A PER Roll And An Acrobatics Roll (-3/4), Instant (-1/2),

    Or as another option instead of the previous one that will make it harder to hit me with AoE when I can't Abort to my Dodge (basically when I already acted in the same Phase)

    Hard to Hit: Negative Combat Skill Levels (-6 to opponent's OCV), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2), Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger resets automatically, immediately after it activates; +1) (75 Active Points); Limited Power Only if I can't use an Abort Action (-1/2), Limited Power Only against AoE attacks (-1)

    Is this build legal

    I want it to give me the ability to Abort to a "Cat Dance" ("Cat Dance" is a +4 DCV Dodge with FMove I built using the UMA rules) Maneuver in phases I already acted on

    (IE:I use a full phase to do whatever and then on the same phase I get targeted by an AoE 1 Hex attack and I want to move away so I won't be affected by it[basically a "Dive for cover" but using an improved Maneuver I built with the UMA])

     

    Master Dodge: Trigger (Activating the Trigger is an Action that takes no time, Trigger requires a Full Phase to reset; When being attacked by an AoE attack and can't Abort normally; +1/4) for up to 50 Active Points of "Cat Dance" (12 Active Points); Requires A PER(to perceive the threat and decide to act on it) Roll And A DEX(to actually act on the threat fast anough) Roll (-1/2), Limited Power Must use next available Phase to "recharge" the Trigger (-1/4)

     

    TIA

    R.E.P.

    Re: RPG Art incl. Star HERO Cover

     

    I posted the following as a comment on the site

     

    Well first of all I want to say that I like all the pics especially "Star Legion" and "Academy Sorcerer" but.. about "Star Legion" you seem to credit it to "James Ryman" although according to the book "Star Hero" which this is the cover of the art credit belongs to "Jason Engle" (this was also confirmed by "Steve s. Long" the writer of said book)
