Default Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Flying Leap and Power Blow

I haven't used Flying Leap yet, though I've made a few characters in my Marvel Reboot project that might have use of it.

Power Blow, though, I've used in a slightly over-the-top manner in a fantasy game, with a character who was equal arts (in DF terms) Knight, Barbarian, and Martial Artist. He had an unbreakable bastard sword sized up for use by SM+1 folks (he had Perks which allowed this at his own SM +0). The other players thought I was overdoing the Evaluate maneuver against a massive ogre (mostly because of how I was describing it; I had tossed a note to the GM saying what I was really doing) and then I unleashed a Power Blow+Targeted Attack (Two-Handed Sword Swing/Neck) combo, neatly decapitating the ogre.
