Re: [Basic] Skills: Flying Leap Base Attribute
 

It's an earlier-edition artifact. We realized we had left it IQ-based after the GURPS Basic Set Fourth Edition had gone to print. I'd prefer Will-based, like Power Blow, but could settle for HT-based, for reasons others have given. It isn't a big enough deal to rate as errata . . . just one of those "Huh, look at that!" things.

Just out of curiosity, would you do the same thing with Push? (because as a Chi power I'm ruling it that way for my games.)

Re: [Basic] Skills: Flying Leap Base Attribute
 

Nope. Push is a physical attack; you use the skill to attack, and it's subject to ordinary active defenses. That definitely screams "DX."

Re: [Basic] Skills: Flying Leap Base Attribute
 

Oh yeah, I see that it says to roll Push to hit. I was thinking that, like Flying Leap, you would roll a normal attack roll to hit and then against Push to do the Chi affect (instead of actually doing damage)... I guess that if the skill worked that way then it would be Will-based instead of DX-based?
