Yo Silly me made the mistake of posting a discussion topic in the question board... How embarresing. Anyway, here's the same thing again then: Can I use the 'Block' maneuver to deflect ranged attacks in melee combat? What I mean with this would be the following: We're playing a game where guns are frequently used, however we're not allowed to buy missle deflection to deflect bullets because those just move to fast. But what if I were standing close to someone with a gun and attempt to block the gun itself instead of the bullets? Like swat it asside before the shot could be fired. How would that be done and what would happen with the attack. Normally when blocked an attack does nothing, but a gun will still fire when just redirected. This maneuver is really something in between a block and dodge. Dodge because the attack happens but you don't get hit and block because you need to attack the opponents attack. Another thing wich I'm wondering about is that it's currently impossible to overpower a block. Let's say for example that I'm a very strong giant and I'm fighting a very weak little man who happens to have a wicked block OCV. In this case I'm missing the STR vs STR a bit because shouldn't it be possible that i'd just slash right trough the little man's block? I guess what I'm trying to say is that block basically prevents an attack from happening wich isn't really true. It's more like the attack happens but the original target gets replace by something of the blockers choosing right? I would very much like everyone's opinion on these matters, thank you very much.

Yo Something i've been thinking about and wanted some different perspectives on is 'Weapon Speed' Would it be a nice idea and if so how, to add speed modifiers to weapons. The only thing that differenciates weapons now is the dmg they do and, if you use the STR minimum rule, the accuracy. But don't you think that a knife, for example, should be able to slash faster than someone would swing a flail or other heavy weapon type? Or maybe I should have turned things around and said that heavy weapons would be slower than light weapons as to avoid the misunderstanding that wielding light weapons make you faster. please, your thoughts on this subject, thank you very much.

Yo first off i'd like to say hi to all reading this, although I'm not new to heroes I'm new to this board. I have some questions wich after hours spend on skimming trough the rule books are still left unanswered. Can I use the 'Block' maneuver to deflect ranged attacks in melee combat?
