Rules FAQ - Hero Games Company

A: If a power fits the “Simulating Mental Powers” guidelines on 6E1 326 and the GM declares
that it’s treated as a “Mental Power,” then you should use the character’s EGO, not his DEX, to
determine when his Phase occurs in a Segment. Otherwise, use his DEX as usual.
Page 321 — Area Of Effect (including Damage Shield)
Q: If a character has both Growth (or is defined as being permanently large) and a Damage
Shield, does he need to buy up the Area Of Effect (Surface) to match his size, or can he just stick
with the usual +¼ for ordinary human size?
A: If a character is larger than normal, or can become larger than normal by using Growth, and
he wants to have a Damage Shield that covers his entire body, he needs to buy the Area Of Effect
(Surface) to cover his entire size; otherwise the Damage Shield only covers part of his body.
Page 325 — AVAD
Q: If a power takes AVAD as a Limitation (such as a Drain that works against PD), is Does
BODY (+1) still required to make the attack do BODY damage?
A: Yes.
Q: If a character buys a Damage Over Time ability that has the AVAD Advantage, does he have
to pay for the “defense only applies once” modifier to Damage Over Time’s value?
A: Yes.
Page 327 — Autofire
Q: If a character has a naked Autofire Advantage, when he uses the Advantage with a power
does he pay END for the Advantage just once, or does he have to pay the END once per shot
fired (like he would if the Advantage were not naked)?
A: When a naked Autofire Advantage is used, the character using it pays END for the naked
Advantage once per shot fired.
So, for example, suppose a character fires three shots of a 30 Active Point power with a naked
Autofire (+½) Advantage, the character pays ((3 x 3) + (3 x 1) =) 12 END.
