Name: Bullet Deflect
Cost: 0.5 per dice (max dice equal to skill in weapon)
The adept with this power can use a sword (or any other metal
weapon) to deflect bullets heading towards them.
For each bullet in a initiative pass that the adept attempts
to deflect the player rolls the dice against a target number
of 2 + (number of bullets shot at the adept this round). The
adepts next action is at +4 TN (apart from deflecting bullets)
due to the violent moves needed to deflect bullets.
Example 1:
Adept (A) rolls 18 for initiative. (3 points of bullet deflect)
Gun Bunny (GB) rolls 21 for initiative.
GB fires burst at A (and hits) on 21
A rolls for the first bullet with 6 dice against TN 2
A rolls for the second bullet with 6 dice against TN 3
A rolls for the third bullet with 6 dice against TN 4
GB fires burst at A (and hits) on 11
A rolls for the first bullet with 6 dice against TN 5
A rolls for the second bullet with 6 dice against TN 6
A rolls for the third bullet with 6 dice against TN 7
GB fires burst at A (and hits) on 01
A rolls for the first bullet with 6 dice against TN 8
A rolls for the second bullet with 6 dice against TN 9
A rolls for the third bullet with 6 dice against TN 10
Example 2:
A rolls 18 again
GB1 rolls 25
GB2 rolls 21
GB1 burst fire at A (hits)
A rolls 6 dice TN 2, 3, 4
GB2 burst fire at A (misses)
GB1 burst fires at A
A rolls 6 dice TN 5,6,7
GB2 burst fires at A (hits)
A rolls 6 dice TN 8,9,10
....
What do you think, over powered ??
I would make single shots from a single opponent almost worthless if you
have the number of dice up a bit. But a NPC with this power sure would
put the wind up the characters ;)
