Many a Hong Kong film, and the old Kung Fu TV show, has guys catching or deflecting arrows, daggers, thrown axes .. and in the Watchmen comic, Adrian Veidt caught a .38 slug in his hand .. he didnt have any super powers, thats supposed to be high levels of martial arts only. Considering all the much more impossible stuff going on on Cidri, why not make some rule for this? Something for UC guys to try if fired at ..

.. say SR 3/DX to deflect/catch any incoming missile, (from front hexes only) cant be used on more missiles per turn than your level of UC talent (so max 5 missiles at UC V) .. cant try it on a bullet until UC V. Must have nothing in your hands to do this. Counts as a free action. If you catch a throwing weapon you also have the talent for, you can immediately throw it right back, also as a free action. Doesnt work on missile spells or lasers.
