teleport

[Drifter99]

A character who buys teleport, with the gate limitation, and has an area of effect 4 m, with teleport sense from the powers book pg 340, I like to know if that character still is required to make an attack roll to place / center his power still at DCV 3, or does he attack the people with in his radius, also since it is an area of affect , range self only, does he need to buy usable on other since its a gate that when appears is center around his feet? can he even place the gate vertically or horizontally ?

[Steve Long]

Ordinarily a character creating a Gate wouldn't be required to make an Attack Roll to "place" the Gate in the proper location, since a Gate usually isn't created in combat and that sort of precision is irrelevant. However, in some situations the GM may require this, in which case normal rules for targeting an Area apply.

 

Whether an Attack Roll is involved or not, a Gate does not automatically affect people within its Area. A Gate is bought with Usable By Other or Usable Simultaneously, not Usable As Attack. Therefore it cannot affect people involuntarily; they have to want to use it.

 

Whether a Gate can be placed horizontally (for example above someone, or on the ground beneath people's feet) is up to the GM.
