Moira Morley Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Power A Power B (Extra: Triggered [if Power A hits]) Power C (Extra: Triggered [if Power B hits]) Power D (Extra: Triggered [if Power C hits]) et cetera Is that legal?
Toptomcat Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Like many things, this combination is technically rules-legal, but has about the same chance of getting past the Refs as a snowball does in Hell, unless it's got some kind of *serious* balancing factor.
Dr Archeville Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Actually, I'm not sure it's even legal. That sort of set-up is exactly what the Linked Extra is for.
Toptomcat Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I'm not sure about that. It sounds like what is desired isn't an automatic dual effect like Linked is designed for, but an if-then sort of situation: if the first attack hits, make an attack roll for the second. If that hits, make a roll for the third...and so on.
nareik123 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Damn it Moira, I was gonna ask the same question. :)
Geez3r Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah, I'm going to say that's not legal as written. But what you could do is attach a limited flaw on B, C, D... that they couldn't be used until the previous power had taken affect. It's not really a combo anymore so much as a chain. Example: Power A : Stun 10 {20 points (if memory serves)} Power B: Blast 10 Flaws: Limited (Only if target previously failed a save vs Power A in this encounter) {10} Power C: Drain Toughness 10 Flaws: Limited (Only if target previously failed a save vs Power B in this encounter) {10 (if memory serves)}
N/A Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Personally, I wouldn't think this would be worth more than a Power Loss Drawback. And Triggered is a feat, not an extra.
Moira Morley Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 Mecha & Manga has combos! Are we using them?
Dr Archeville Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Probably not, since this is Freedom City PbP, not Streets of Mortal Fighting Kombat PbP :P
