Re: Neutralize Enhancement Idea: Dispelling
Quote:
Static explicitly can take the Ranged enhancement, so I've been assuming that someone hit by it will have all (source) effects *and* abilities negated for the 10 seconds, without making it an Affliction - how else would Ranged Static work? And that 10 seconds can be increased more cheaply with Extended Duration than Neutralize can be, though Neutralize does start out with a longer duration. Or did you mean that someone shouldn't be able to have even a ranged Static ability and still have any other abilities from the same source? That doesn't make a lot of sense, except as pure meta-game compensation for its price - and Affliction (Static) is even cheaper than Static (Ranged), though there'd be other adjustments to the ability's resistance and such.

Affliction (Static) does look like it's worth considering, as it adds the desired resistibility, range, and increased duration, and eliminates even the question of whether Static (Ranged) allows the possession of abilities with the affected source. No, you first, my dear Gaston! Last edited by Not another shrubbery; 03-17-2007 at 12:36 PM. |

Re: Neutralize Enhancement Idea: Dispelling
Neutralize as "dispelling" now has become part of the official rules.

Psionic DR (from, say, Psychokinesis or Ergokinesis) wouldn't seem to be affected at all against instantaneous attacks, since you roll separately versus each one. I assume you could cut off someone's resistance to continuing damage - I'm guessing if he wants to recover it, it would count as a repeated attempt? |

Re: Neutralize Enhancement Idea: Dispelling
According to Psionic Powers (p. 16), the unmodified Neutralize can be used to interrupt the effect without Interruption limitation; Neutralize (Interruption, -50%) means that this advantage can be used only to interrupt. Then, how many percent should it be worth if I can suspend all of the target's powers of a given source but cannot interrupt any ongoing effect?

It seems about as limiting as Fixed Range (from Clairvoyance), the first level of Minimum Range (from Powers) or an annoyance Nuisance Effect. So yeah, -5% sounds right to me.
