for Blocking Ranged attacks at Range. As noted on 6E2 59, the standard rules for Block apply to Blocking Ranged attacks, unless the rules note otherwise or the GM makes a different ruling. The -2 penalty for Blocking attacks made against another person is a standard Block rule, and therefore applies to Deflection. Page 190 — Desolidification Q: If a character is Desolidified and has a Damage Shield, and someone with an Affects Desolidified attack hits him with that attack in HTH Combat, does the Damage Shield affect the attacker? A: No — the character still needs Affects Physical World on the Damage Shield if he wants to hurt the solid attacker. Q: If a character has Desolidification with the Doesn’t Protect Against Damage Limitation, can he Reflect Ranged attacks made against him? A: Yes, assuming the attack’s Reflectable under the standard rules for that power, but the GM’s free to rule otherwise if he foresees a game balance, dramatic sense, or special effects problem. Q: If a character wants to use Images while Desolidified, does he have to apply the Affects Physical World Advantage to the Images? A: Yes. Regardless of what Sense Groups an Image does or doesn’t affect, if a Desolidified character wants solid characters to perceive and be affected by his Images, the Images power must have the Affects Physical World (+2) Advantage. Without that Advantage he could still create the Images, but they’d obviously be “Desolidified” to anyone who perceived them and thus incapable of causing any harm or having any effect. Q: If a character uses a Constant Power on a target, and the character then becomes Desolidified, does the Constant Power continue to affect the target? A: No. Once a character Desolidifies, any Constant Powers he’s maintaining cease to affect the physical world at that time. If he wanted to, he could continue paying END to keep them functioning so that they would start to affect the target again when he (the character) becomes solid again (thus saving himself the need to use another Attack Action and succeed with another Attack Roll), but as long as he’s Desolidified, a character cannot affect the physical world. However, note that the “lingering” effects of Instant Powers don’t vanish just because the character who created them Desolidifies. Examples including continuing-effect Mental Powers (see 6E1 191) and Entangles.
Q: Does a character with Desolidification need to buy his PRE with the Affects Physical World Advantage to be able to make Presence Attacks against solid targets while Desolidified? A: No, a Desolidified character can make Presence Attacks against solid characters without the need for any special Advantage, unless the GM rules otherwise for some reason. However, in regard to Presence Attacks involving threats, intimidation, and the like, in most cases the target will be aware of the fact that the character making the Presence Attack is Desolidified, and unless he’s also aware of abilities the character has that would make it possible for him to harm or affect the target, the GM should impose severe penalties on the Presence Attack — so severe, in fact, as to virtually negate it, unless the attacker’s clever enough to find a way around that in how he states his threat. Page 193 — Dispel Q: Can Dispel have the Costs Endurance (to maintain) Limitation? A: No. Page 195 — Drain (and Suppress) Q: Since Suppress is in effect a “Constant” power, does it continue to apply to the target, again and again, until its maximum effect is reached? A: No. Page 198 — Duplication Q: When calculating the average damage when Duplicates recombine, do you base this on the number of Duplicates created at that time, or the maximum possible number of Duplicates? A: On the number of Duplicates created. Page 207 — Enhanced Senses Q: If a character has a Dimensional sense (let’s say, that lets him perceive the Astral Plane), if he’s in the plane(s) he can perceive can he perceive his home dimension from there? A: No; he either needs two Dimensional senses, or has to more broadly define the group of dimensions his Dimensional applies to.
