Air Control/Air Powers
Nov 14th, 2013 at 9:38pm
Print Post  
Air Control/Air Powers: This Power allows the character to control winds, air currents, and air pressure, allowing him to generate strong blasts of wind, create a wall of air, or fly.

Strong blasts of wind can be created and fired at a target inflicting concussive force damage. This attack is capable of knocking things over or knocking an opponent back through the air (save vs. Agility). Range = Endurance x2 inches. 1d12 damage. By expending an action the character may use the winds as a defense. One additional action to maintain, but no additional cost. Attacks and defends as Telekinesis. PR=3 per an attack. PR=3 per use as a defense (thanks Polar Boy).

The character my fly riding the wind currents. Maximum flight speed is per the Flight power. PR=1 per hour of flight.

I think many characters published tended to have this work off of Vibratory Powers.  The only one (off the top of my head) that might end up being a bit funky is Light, being as light ordinarily penetrates (ignores) Force Field as a defense.  Not sure that should be so with Air.

Okay, after giving this some thought, I made a modification, so that now air powers attack and defend as Telekinesis.

I am going to "Borrow" this as a future Dick Dante Spell instead of power at some point.

Fuego!!!

If any of you guys use this in a game, let me know. I really like hearing feedback when I post these.

I have a lot of questions before I could use this power.

What does it take to set up a defense? Is there a PR cost? Does it require an action?

How does the "area effected" work? Is this different from multiple attack rules?

Movement only to set up a defense. PR=2.

There's a character in Trouble for Havoc with air control, and that resource does something similar, using telekinesis as a model.

I'm thinking I would probably lift from the Tornado effects of Weather Control and say the power attacks as Vibratory Powers, range = S x 2, with 3d6 Damage, PR = 3. I'd probably add PR = 3 to set up the defense, requiring one action to maintain per turn at no additional power cost.

Hmm...I'll have to go back and take a look, but I'm pretty open to ideas on several of these.

I've also been toying with using Flame Powers as a model for Air Powers. PR = 3 to activate tornado defense (as Vibratory Powers), with the character surrounded by a tornado that allows flight in m.p.h. equal to the character's ground movement. PR = 1 per hour of flight thereafter. PR = 3 tornado attack.

I've made a slight tweak to the writeup.
