Here's another one.
Indirect: The character can make a special attack, allowing them to bounce/ricochet their powers off of walls, floors, etc. Or, a character with electrical powers could fire a bolt of electricity at a wall socket, and have it reappear from a a different light socket, wall socket, computer keyboard, etc., and hit their target from behind, allowing a +4 bonus to hit.
How's that sound?
I really like this power but wonder if a more appropriate name would be
Redirect or
RicochetWhen I think of a power being
Indirect I think that the power does not originate from PC.
Examples:
Storm can create a tornado in the exact spot of the opponent. She can have hail come down on them. She can call down lightning from the opposite direction from where she is standing. Non of her powers have to touch her first then go to the target.
The Invisible Woman can place a force field around a opponent or a field bubble around the opponents head.
Pyro can create a fire attack from anywhere. He once used a lighter in the Blob's hand to shot out a fiery monster at the Blob
Terra could create earth columns anywhere which could ram an opponent.
So using these examples there would be two Power Modifiers.

Indirect: The character can make a special attack, allowing them ignore the terrain between the character and their target. The target gains no bonus from hiding, protecting powers which are not attached, or being prone. This modifier povides a +4 bonus to hit.
