quozaxx Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 OK. My player's character has just Megascaled T-ported into a trap. I know she can't do a Move by, Move through, Grab by, or Dive for cover. I know she's at 0 OCV and 1/2 DCV. But can she abort her next Phase to do anything? Can she go desolid by aborting her next Phase. Please let me know what she CAN do and what she can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Re: Megascale Teleport I assume this is still in the same Phase as the Teleport? If so, she's pretty well in deep doo-doo. The t-port was a full phase action, and she can't Abort to anything in the same Segment she's already acted (ie: if she's acted in Segment 4, she cannot abort to a defensive action until segment 5) per 6e2 pg 22. Still, the GM has some leeway, so there still might be some options depending on what is on your sheet, SFX, and GM's willingness to be flexible. Well, and what the trap is... In the worst case (no options available/acceptable), if the character can survive the initial segment she can abort to the Desolid (or perhaps something else) in the following segment.

quozaxx Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Re: Megascale Teleport Well, she was T-porting a would-be killer (tried to Kill a psycho killer vigilante style) to PRIMUS. PRIMUS is taken over by VIPER. She's been warned by a semi good guy / semi bad guy that this was the case. She T-ports him right into a large gathering of VIPER. 7 agents are now pointing their weapons at the both of them. (The would-be killer is also not a friend of VIPER) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshairCollie Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Re: Megascale Teleport Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think they're both screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Onassiss Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Re: Megascale Teleport Not to put too fine a point on it' date=' but I think they're both screwed. [/quote'] Yeah, it sounds like the Viper agents wouldn't necessarily know they were coming. While the teleporter can't abort until her next segment, perhaps she could do a zero-phase presence attack to buy herself a little time? And does the teleportee have an action to take?

Tom Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Re: Megascale Teleport I'm thinking along the same lines as Xavier. Soliloquy takes no time. I'm assuming the 'prisoner' isn't a combat option unless he's got powers your character doesn't know about, but if you can bluff through a good PRE attack you might get enough hesitation from the VIPERs to roll over into the next segment where you can Abort...

Hugh Neilson Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Re: Megascale Teleport How do all the VIPER agents know to be aiming their weapons? They should be surprised out of combat, shouldn't they, so they also don't have a ready action. I'd say combat begins on phase 12, as normal, and since no one was expecting it, everyone has an action at that point. I'd bet the teleporter has better DEX than VIPER agents and won't even need to abort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
