  JAGS Attacks 
   
  Bullets 
  Type: Offense/Dual Rank (Power/Gun Perks) 
  Although guns are technically devices, they’re a common weapon and are 
  covered here as an ability.   
  • 
  A gun may be fired once per 5 REA. 
  • 
  A gun can be used to ‘double tap,’ and hits with Firearms skill (just like 
  a normal gun). 
  • 
  Bullets do Penetrating damage. 
  • 
  Other attacks that do Impact or Penetrating damage can be converted 
  into a gun. 
  • 
  A gun can be grappled (see the rules for grapple type). 
  • 
  Guns have specific range modifiers due to type. 
   
  Having a gun is a double rank ability.  The first rank determines the POWER of 
  the bullets (or other attack) and the second is bought to ‘make it a gun.’  These 
  guns come with extra range for their attacks.  The clip size is assumed to be 
  ‘standard.’ 
   
  Other modifiers don't modify the gun modifier.  Only the attack itself is altered 
  (the gun modifier covers the cost of firing for extra REA). 
   
  Pistol: Pistols are small, have a high rate of fire (compared to most super 
  powers) and are easy to use in a grapple.  If an arm with a pistol (or the pistol 
  itself) is grappled, the attacker must score a Grappling Minor Success to use 
  the gun. 
  Cost: The cost of a Pistol is Class+1 (so an E Pistol costs an additional F to 
  “make it a gun.” 
  Clip Size: 9 rounds before reload.  An A4 ability gives it a 20 round extended 
  clip. By taking –1 to the Pistol Class cost (so the cost is +Class instead of 
  Class +1) the gun is a six-shooter. 
  Range: The range modifier for a pistol is –1 / 5 yards. 
   
  Rifle/SMG: Rifles and SMG’s take a Medium action to aim (if not 
  “carried at the ready”) and, in a grappling situation, require a Standard 
  Success to use. 
  Cost: The cost of a Rifle is Class+2 (so an E rifle requires an additional 
  G to “make it a gun.”  If it’s a “bolt-action” Rifle and only fires one shot 
  per turn, the cost is Class-1 (no double tap, no additional REA cost). 
  Clip Size: 8 Rounds.  An A4 gives the gun a 30 round clip. 
  Range: The range modifier of a rifle is –1 / 50 yards. 
   
  Machine Guns: Automatic guns are treated as one of the above 
  weapons with the additional note that they have a high Rate Of Fire.  
  This assumes the weapon does some kind of “normal damage” 
  (usually PEN damage).  The gun has a CONTROL rating (the negative 
  modifier for each bullet fired).

  Sample Guns: These 
  are some common 
  weapons your character 
  might carry. 
   
  .44 Magnum Pistol: 
  Damage is 16pts. 
  POWER cost is A4. 
  Pistol cost is A5. With 
  the six-shot modifier the 
  final cost is A4 + A4 for 
  a total of A. 
   
  .30-.06 Rifle: Base 
  damage is 30pts (Cost 
  of E). Rifle Cost is G. 
  Total cost is E + G.     
   
  M-60 Machine Gun: 
  Base Damage is 30, 
  ROF is 8, Control is –1.  
  Cost is E for the damage 
  and H for the auto-fire.  
   
   
  9mm Mini-Gun: A 
  theoretical light weapon 
  designed for Powered 
  Armor. Damage is A2 
  (6pts per bullet), ROF is 
  32 rounds per second. 
  Control is –1/2. Cost is 
  E.

  POWER 3 
   
   
  Ex1: The City Knight has a .357 that is POWER 15 (Class AA).  To make it a pistol he 
  adds a B Class Enhancer to it. Bang! Bang! When he buys Super Speed, he won’t pay 
  for it based on the B Class ‘Gun’ enhancer, but rather on the AA Class bullet itself. 
   
  Ex2: The Alien wants a laser rifle. He gets a Class D Laser and spends E+ 
  (3D) to buy the Rifle package.  This gives him a -1 / 65 yard range, double 
  fire/double tap and the sights. 
   
   
  Burning Body 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  You’re on fire!  This is really an enhancement (you can have an electrified 
  body too) but it’s common, so it’s handled here.  When your body is activated, 
  you’ll do damage, once a turn (at the beginning of the turn) to anyone touching 
  you.  Additionally, when you’re hit or you hit someone you’ll do some damage 
  too. 
   
  The damage done is based on how close they are to you.  There are two basic types: 
  Normal (Fire) and ‘Electrical.’  If you touch someone with an electrified body, you take a 
  lot more damage because the effect isn’t based on surface area touching.   
   
  The damage is applied regardless of who takes the action (so blocking a 
  Burning Body still does damage). When a burning character punches or 
  squeezes a target, the damage for Burning Body and the punch are applied 
  separately. The Damage Modifier for a Block is always assumed to be 0 (no 
  matter who blocks).  If the character is hit or grabbed, the Damage Modifier is 
  assumed to be +2.  If the character is Grappled, the Damage Modifier is 
  always +4.

  Electrical Type

             Class-2 
   
   
  Flame Type: Cost is Class  
   
  Electrical Type: Cost is Class+1 
   
  If you don’t have a regular ranged attack form from which Burning Body is 
  derived, subtract 1 Class from the Burning Body cost. 
   
  Ex1: Fire Bird has a Class E Flame Blast (POWER 3.75) and Burning Body (Fire Type) 
  which also costs Class E. When grappled, this does Class F damage (45).  When Fire 
  Bird grabs or is grabbed the target takes 38 Damage.  With a punch, Fire Bird does 
  normal HTH damage and Class C (30) points of damage.  When Fire Bird blocks or is 
  blocked, the damage is Class B (27).

  Chemical Attacks 
  Type: Offensive PWR vs. STAT/Dual Rank 
  Chemical Attacks are PWR vs. STAT attacks. This means that the character 
  buys an Attack POWER (which is a roll, usually between 10- and 20-) and, when 
  the attack hits, the target makes a STAT roll (usually WIL for mental drugs and 
  CON for physical ones). The target's roll is at –1 per point the attacker made his 
  roll by. The amount the target misses or makes his roll by is checked on the 
  PWR vs. STAT table and the proper effect is applied. 
   
  In most games, these attacks will be "Strongly Resisted." This means that before 
  the Toxin makes its roll, its roll is reduced by one point per target's point of STAT 
  above 10. This, essentially, gives the target double their resistance stat. This is 
  done for two purposes: 1] because these attacks are often something of a 
  "cheap shot" and 2] because many characters have no other defense than their 
  stat (i.e. most characters need to breath). The GM should take special care when 
  permitting buying these attacks. 
   
  Buying PWR vs. STAT Attacks 
  When buying, you pay the Strength cost (i.e. how powerful the basic type of 
  attack is) and the (roll modifier) and the Delivery System (so a toxin that needs to 
  enter the bloodstream is cheaper than a gas that's absorbed through the skin 
  because the gas is easier to deploy and harder to defend against).

  Example: A nerve-gas grenade (Very Strong, Skin Contact, 15-) Costs I 
  (Strength), J (for the 15-), N (for the Gas deployment). On the other hand, it's 
  likely to incapacitate everyone in the room … 
   
  Venom 
  This is the only POWER vs. Stat attack that does actual damage.  A character hit 
  by Venom will actually lose damage points.  If the damage moves him into a 
  worse condition category, he must make a CON roll as though he had sustained 
  a wound of that level (Hurt Condition rolls on the Minor Wound table).  A 
  poisoned character will take some multiple of the Base Damage each few 
  seconds until a STAT roll (at some negative) is made.  When a character is hit, 
  he will take the damage immediately and then each [Interval] seconds.

  Nerve Poison 
  Strength: V-Strong 
  Poison is similar to Venom (the names don’t necessarily mean anything).  
  Instead of doing damage, Poison reduces the target’s CON.  If the target hits 0 
  CON, he is dead.  Lost CON points are recovered at a rate of 1 per hour 
  (modified by Regeneration or Resilient).  This is a particularly nasty attack; all the 
  character’s subsequent CON rolls are at lower levels.

  Paralysis effects slow characters and make them sluggish.  Some animals nerve toxins 
  paralyze the target’s respiratory system.  Use Toxin for the lethal form of paralysis—this 
  ability is not deadly.

  Tear Gas 
  Strength: Weak 
  Tear gas creates a burning sensation in the eyes and nose, your mucous glands 
  go into overdrive. It's unpleasant and hard to see. The major effect is a 
  perception modifier: make a PER roll at the listed negative or take the listed 
  negative to hit for that turn. If you have to make a WIL roll or leave the area, a 
  PC can decide to stay but takes the listed modifier to all rolls.

  This quickly and efficiently renders those exposed unconscious.  It can be used 
  for tranquilizer darts, high tech knockout gas, stun beams, or extremely potent 
  sleeping gas. Like paralysis, this takes a few seconds to reach full effect (the 
  second the target is hit, there may be a more minor effect, followed by serious 
  slowing).

  Claws 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Tear into an opponent! The character has a Bio-Weapon and his strikes do 
  Penetrating damage. Add the POWER of the Claws to the character’s HTH 
  damage and make it all Penetrating.  In a Grapple, Claws ignore –4 points of 
  negative modifier.  If you have Super Strength, you have to buy another ability 
  at Super Strength Class -1. 
   
  Strong Claws: Claws that are strong or super sharp can do their own 
  damage instead of adding to yours.  If you want Claws that do damage 
  out of proportion to your STR, just 
   
  Teeth: While you’re at it, why not have big spiky teeth too?  Teeth (as 
  a Bio-Weapon) have a Grapple POWER of 2 (so E Teeth have a 20 
  Grapple) or you’re natural Grapple, whichever is better.  With a ‘Grab’ 
  (bite) move, you can get hold.  Keep track of your to-hit roll, because 
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
  until they break the Grapple, from then on, for 5 REA you can ‘bite 
  down’ for another 5 REA action (same to-hit roll).  Getting Claws and 
  Teeth requires a Class –2 addition. 
   
  Additive: POWER 1  Super Strong: POWER 2.75 
   
  Ex1: Razorback has Strong Claws of Class C doing 22 Damage (no matter how strong 
  or weak he is). 
   
  Ex2: Switch Blade has Super Strength Class F (Enhanced Physique) for 39 Damage. 
  To combine them with Claws, he must buy an additional Class E ability to make his 
  STR Penetrating.  He then gets Class E Claws for +10 damage and does 49 points of 
  Penetrating damage. 
   
   
  Cutting Beam 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Slice through your opponents with energy beams. Cutting Beams are 'ultra-sharp' 
  energy blades.  Cutting Beams have two damage scores: one that is used when they 
  score an "average" hit (by 0 to 3) and one that is used when they score a good hit (4+).  
   
   
   
   
  Hit By 3 or less  
  Hit by 4+ 
  Penetration POWER 
   
  1 
   
      3.5 
   
  Armor Reduction: For Penetrating Cutting beams, a portion of the damage 
  may be declared to be armor reducing. This damage is subtracted from armor 
  before rolling for damage modification of any sort. If the damage reduction is 
  greater than the armor value, the Penetration resistance is halved. 
   
  STR Damage: As with HTH weapons, you can't add the damage of Super 
  Strength (or any similar ability) to the damage Cutting Beam does. You can 
  add your normal STR however. Normal STR damage isn't multiplied by the 
  POWER number—it just adds. 
   
  Cutting Ray: It's legal to turn the medium reach "blade" into a ray. In that case 
  it fires once per turn per 10 REA and has a range modifier of –1 per 5 yards. 
   
  Ex1: Scythe has an energy sword with a Long Reach of Class E. She pays an 
  additional D to give the sword long reach.  It adds to her normal STR damage 
  (if she has Super STR then it doesn't add) and she does 10 or 35 points of 
  penetration damage. 
  Death Ray 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  A Death Ray is a black beam of anti-life. It might be super-science, mysticism, 
  or something else. Whatever: it's scary.  The Death Ray is a POWER vs. 
  STAT attack, which can go against WIL or CON (the target rolls against 
  whichever is higher or the GM decides—if it's purely technical then CON is 
  probably the stat). Wounds must be rolled against as well. A Death Ray has a 
  charge up time of two seconds. 
   
  The POWER is 15- 
   
  Minor Effect: The character suffers a Minor Wound and is Incapacitated 
  (essentially unconscious, but really very sick) until a STAT-1 roll is made (1 roll 
  per second). 
   
  Standard Effect: The character suffers a Major Wound and is Incapacitated 
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
  until a STAT-2 roll is made (one roll per second). 
   
  Major Effect: The character suffers a Critical Wound and is Incapacitated (in a 
  comma) until a STAT-2 roll is made (one roll per Day). A failure by 5 or more 
  means the character dies. 
   
  Critical Effect: The character suffers a Critical Wound and will die in CON 
  seconds. 
   
  Catastrophic Effect: The character is dead. 
   
  Cost: 4 Primary 1 Secondary 
  Notes: The GM should monitor this. Its here as sort of an ultimate weapon or a 
  super-science solution to someone who's otherwise unstoppable.  
   
   
  Disintegration 
  Type: Offense/Dual Rank 
  Turn targets to dust!  When a target is hit with a disintegration beam the very 
  foundation of its matter starts to fall apart. Targets usually sustain massive 
  damage or disappear entirely: as such, this is a very expensive attack form 
  and few characters can afford it. 
   
  A hit from a Disintegration Beam deducts POWER Mass from the target. Roll 
  on the Impact Damage table, modifying the POWER of the beam as though it 
  were an Impact attack.  If the adjusted ‘damage’ is greater than the Mass of 
  the target, either the target is gone (non-living) or suffers catastrophic damage 
  (living).  If the ‘damage’ is less than the Mass of the target, the target suffers 
  damage proportional to the Mass lost. 
   
  If a living target is ‘disintegrated’ it suffers a Critical Wound and takes damage 
  equal to its damage points x2.  If a Dead result is scored, the target is gone.  If 
  a Dying result is scored the target may ‘fall apart’ when he dies.   
   
  If the ‘damage’ is less than the Mass of the target, the target takes a 
  Penetrating hit for [ (Total DP / Mass) x adjusted damage ].  This means that a 
  Disintegration beam that hits a 4 Mass 40 DP target for a damage of 3 does 30 
  points of Penetrating damage.  This attack is the re-rolled using the previous 
  to-hit modifier. 
   
  Disintegration attacks are reduced normally by Force Fields, ignore Bio Armor, 
  and have their POWER reduced by one rank per class of Shell Type armor.  
  The Penetration damage done ignores all defenses. Against a Power Field, 
  treat every point of damage like 10 points removed from the Power Field. If the 
  remaining Power Field is 4 or less, that point of ‘damage’ gets through. 
   
  Disintegration beams can only be used after a period of charging.  Charging 
  must begin with a 5 REA Medium action (unless the Charging rank is at J2) 
  and stopping it during charging cost 4 Endurance (the GM should take 
  sanctions against characters running around charging beams)

  Disintegration may be fired once a turn for each 10 full REA the character (if 
  charge time is every second) has and has a standard range (-1 per 5 yards). 
   
  POWER 1 (-11) so a POWER of G yields POWER 1, H yields POWER of 3, J 
  yields POWER of 7. 
   
  Ex1: Devastator hits a 600 DP Mass 10 statue with a Class I (POWER 5) Disintegration 
  beam.  He rolls his damage modifier and gets +2 (total ‘damage’ of 7).  Since this is a 
  non-living object, if he’d gotten a 10, it would just be gone.  As is, he rolls another attack 
  (using the same to-hit modifier) on the Penetration table with a Base Damage of 420 (7 
  x 60).  This yields 840 Damage (2x multiplier) and the statue vanishes.  If his charge 
  rate is F, he can only use it on the 16th second of combats. 
   
  Ex2: Later on, Devastator catches Crusher, a 4 Mass, 48 BLD (10 Mass) 
  character with his POWER 5 Disintegration beam.  His Damage Mod is a –1 
  for 4 damage.  This acts like a 12x4 = 48 point Penetrating attack that ignores 
  all armor!  Ouch. 
   
  Disruption 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Disruption attacks work by ‘shifting’ the physical structure of a target.  When 
  someone teleports inside someone else or solidifies within a structure, that’s 
  Disruption.  Additionally, you can simply buy a Disruption attack to simulate 
  alien weapons or some other weird effect.  Disruption ignores all Armor, acts 
  normally against Force Fields (but does not degrade them), and has its Base 
  Damage reduced by the Mass of the target.  The attack does POWER Impact 
  damage.  
   
  Note: This attack may only be fired once a turn no matter how much REA the character 
  has (if bought as a no-range HTH attack, it may still only be used once). 
   
  POWER 1 
   
  Ex1: Phantom has a Class E Disruption attack for 10 points of damage.  He uses it on 
  Crusher who has a Mass of 4.  Before rolling for damage, the Disruption attack’s Base 
  Damage is dropped to 6. 
   
   
   
  Flame Bolt 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  The character throws fire! The blast of flame does fire damage (slow to heal), 
  sets things on fire, and can be used to do ½ damage, through armor to targets 
  wearing low technology helmets (the super heated air ignores the armor) with 
  a head hit. It hits for POWER Impact damage (Flame damage is resolved on 
  the Impact table). It may be fired once a turn for each 10 full REA the character 
  has and has a standard range (-1 per 5 yards). 
  POWER 3.75 
   
   
  Ex1: Firebird has a Class E Flame Bolt that hits for 38 points of damage.

  Type: Offense/Power vs. STAT 
  A flash attack is a blinding flash of light.  It is a POWER vs. STAT attack and is based 
  on the Blind attack below.  If (as it commonly does) the character emits a blinding beam 
  of light—or has a flash grenade like effect—the following rules apply: 
   
  Targets may take a 3 REA “blocking” action to cover their eyes.  If this is done, the 
  POWER of the attack is reduced by -4 if they make an REA roll by more than the 
  attacking character hit by.  If targets make this roll by 5+, they suffer no effects of the 
  flash. 
   
  Optionally, the GM may rule that in bright sunlight the POWER is at -1 to -3 and in the 
  darkness the POWER is at +1 per -2 points of perception modifier (+3 in total 
  darkness).  Sunglasses will lower the POWER by 1 to 3 points. 
   
  • 
  Minor Effect: Character is at -2 to all ranged attacks and -1 to HTH attacks 
  until the next turn. Visual perception rolls are at -2. 
  • 
  Standard Effect: The character is at -2 to all combat modifiers (blocks 
  and attacks) and must make a CON roll at the beginning of each round 
  to recover. Visual perception rolls are at -4. 
  • 
  Major Effect: The character is blinded for 3 seconds (-6 to all combat 
  rolls).  For POWER / 2 seconds the character is at -3visibility modifiers 
  (e.g. the character must make a perception roll at -3 each turn or fight 
  at -3 to all combat rolls. 
  • 
  Critical Effect: As above but the blindness lasts POWER seconds. 
  • 
  Catastrophic Effect: Target is blinded for POWER hours, after which 
  a CON roll is made. If the roll is successful the character has -2 vision 
  for POWER days.  Otherwise the character is blinded another POWER 
  hours and rolls again.  If a roll is blown by 10 the blinding may be 
  permanent. 
   
  Cost: E (POWER 14-) 
   
   
  Force Bolt 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  The character fires a blast of Kinetic Energy that will knock targets around.  
  Although it does damage, being hit with a Force Bolt is more like being hit with 
  a hard, strong blast of wind than being shot.  A target hit with a Force Bolt will 
  suffer knock-back equal to [POWER / Mass].  Damage is separate. It may be 
  fired once a turn for each 10 full REA the character has and has a standard 
  range (-1 per 5 yards). 
   
  The effects of knock-back are (in general) an AGI (or Acrobatics) roll at –1 per 
  yard to remain standing, deduction of knock-back from forward velocity, and 
  damage equal to POWER if they hit something or POWER /3 if they don’t (if 
  they just hit the ground). 
   
  Damage: POWER 3.25  Knock-Back: POWER 1 
  Ex1: Vector has a Class E Force Bolt.  It does 33 points of Damage and 
  knocks targets back 10 / Mass usually 5) yards.

  Freeze Ray 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  You fire a beam of cold that creates frozen blocks of ice around the target 
  (yes, we know it's a goofy power … where does the ice come from? There isn't 
  that much water in the atmosphere … if you don't like it, don't play with it). 
   
  Targets hit by the Freeze Ray take damage normally (energy damage—it's 
  frost burn). If they are hit by 4+, however, a block of ice appears around the 
  target. This works as follows: 
   
  The ice has a Grapple of POWER 1.5, DP of POWER 2 (times damage 
  modifier), and 1pt of Armor.  A character who is hit, makes a Grapple roll 
  against the attack: 
   
  Minor Success: Target is hindered. If a leg was hit, the target is stuck until he 
  breaks out (no AGI mod, no movement). If a hand was hit, weapons will be 
  encased. If no called shot was specified, then the subject is at –1 to combat 
  rolls for the next two turns (or until he breaks out). This –1 applies to blocks, 
  dodges, to-hit, and to AGI mod (the character is at +1 to hit). 
   
  Success: As above, but the target is at –2 to combat rolls. 
   
  Major Success: The target is stuck and encased. All attacks must go against 
  the ice first.  The target attacks the ice at –4 Damage Mod but no negative to 
  hit (and a miss counts as a hit by 0). 
   
  Critical Success: As above but the damage mod is –6. 
   
   
   
  Damage: POWER 3  ICE DP 2 GRAPPLE 1.5 
  Ex1: Vector has a Class E Freeze Ray.  It does 30 damage, creates 20 DP ice 
  bands, and has a Grapple of 15.   
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
   
   
  Heat Ray 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  A Heat Ray uses special forms of radiation to penetrate a target’s defenses. 
  Against armor (but not Force Fields) damage from a Heat Ray will ‘leak 
  through.’ If, after applying armor, the target has taken less than 1/10th damage 
  (minimum of 1), the target will suffer 1/10th of the damage. It may be fired once 
  a turn for each 10 full REA the character has and has a standard range (-1 per 
  5 yards). 
   
  POWER 2.5 
   
  Minimum Rank: D (Secondary) 
  Ex1: Fire Bird has a Class E Heat Ray.  It hits for 25 points of damage, but 
  does a minimum of 3 to any character only protected by Armor.   
   
  Laser 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank (possibly dual) 
  The character fires a devastating beam of light. Lasers have a Range modifier 
  of –1 per 15 yards and strike for POWER Penetration damage. They may be 
  fired once per turn per 10 REA the character has. 
  Damage POWER 3 
   
  Force Field Penetration: Lasers can be calibrated to be more 
  effective against Force Fields.  A second letter can be purchased to 
  give an armor reducing effect against Force Field users (this is 
  counted as extra damage for purposes of degrading Force Fields).   
  POWER 1 
   
  Ex1: Lux has a Class E Laser that strikes for 30 points of damage.  He buys 
  Force Field Penetration with another E and reduces 10 points of Force Field's 
  defenses. 
   
   
  Lightning Bolt 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Destroy targets with lighting bolts! The bolts strike for POWER Impact 
  damage.  Since the damage is electric: CON rolls made are at –1, with an 
  additional –1 for each [Minor Wound] amount of damage after the first.  This 
  means if your target is hit for 2x his Minor Wound score, he makes a CON roll 
  at –2. It may be fired once a turn for each 10 full REA the character has and 
  has a standard range (-1 per 5 yards). 
   
  Metal armor is reduced by a POWER factor of 1.5. Most Bio-Armor is not 
  metallic but Power Armor, Shell Armor, and "real" fantasy armor is metal. A 
  player should determine if his armor is metal when purchased. 
   
  Damage POWER 3.25 
   
  Metal Armor Reduction 1.5 
   
  Ex1: Thunderbird has a Class E Lightning Bolt which strikes for 33 points of damage. 
  His opponents make CON rolls at –1 (at least) and it reduces metal armor by 15pts. 
   
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
  Particle Beam 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  The character fires a brilliant beam of charged particles (also called an Ion Beam). This 
  beam lances through Force Fields, reducing them by a Power Factor of 1.25. This is 
  not degradation—the reduction only applies to that attack. It strikes for Impact damage. 
   
  Sustained Fire: Particle Beams can be fired "sustained."  This is an 8 REA attack. The 
  "first part" is a standard attempt to hit doing Rank-1 damage (so an E POWER counts 
  as a D).  The second attack happens 8 Initiative points later.  If, during this period the 
  target has gotten to go and has moved, the attacker must roll to hit again.  This second 
  hit has, in any event, a different Damage Modifier roll.  The GM can assign ¼ damage 
  in a "line" if the beam is tracked. This line may be a maximum of Rank x 5 yards in 
  length (an E beam can track 50 yards). 
   
  Ex: Megaton has a Class F Particle Beam and fires it sustained.  He has an 
  Initiative roll of +2 and his target blows his roll with a –1.  The first shot hits for 
  33 points of damage.  Then the target takes his turn.  The target runs for cover 
  but is not fast enough to reach cover.  Megaton "sweeps the beam over to 
  him" at Initiative –6 in the combat turn (8 Initiative later). This time it's a new 
  roll to hit and the Base Damage is D (29 pts).  Even if Megaton missed with 
  the first beam, he could track and hit his target with the second beam. 
   
  Damage POWER 3.25 
  Force Field Reduction 1.25 
   
  Ex1: Ion has a Class E Particle Beam. It hits for 33 points of damage and reduces 
  Force Fields by 13pts. When fired in sustained mode the first attack hits for 29 (Rank D) 
  damage and the second for 26 (Rank C). 
   
   
  Plasma Blast 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  You can hurl explosive blasts of plasma! Plasma blasts strike for POWER Impact 
  damage.  They are explosive and have a Radius of 2 yards (within 2 yards damage is ½, 
  from 2-4 yards damage is ¼, and from 4 to 6 yards damage is 1/9). It may be fired once a 
  turn for each 10 full REA the character has and has a standard range (-1 per 5 yards). 
   
  Concentrated Fire: A Plasma Blast can be fired in a narrower beam. If this is 
  done the blast radius is 2 feet instead of 2 yards.  This can make the attack less 
  disruptive. 
   
  POWER 3.75 
   
   
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
   
  Power Fist 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Your fists crackle with energy!  Actually, although named Power Fist, any HTH 
  attack you use can do damage with your Bio-Energy field. When your 
  character strikes a blow you can do either your normal HTH damage (whatever 
  that is) or the damage of his Power Fist (not both). This attack may be used 
  with any HTH attack the character has and is modified as though it was normal 
  HTH damage (a Power Kick would do +10% damage). 
   
  Detonate: once per turn for +1 REA you can ‘detonate’ your Power Fist.  This 
  blow does ¾ damage explosive with a 2 yard Radius.  The attacker takes no 
  damage from this and if the blow does not connect or is blocked the blow won’t 
  detonate.  This may only be attempted once per turn and if it is, it’s the only 
  use of the Power Fist for that turn.  The Detonation does +1 Class damage.  
  This can be combined with a Kick, Cross, or any other move. 
   
  POWER 3.75 
   
   
  Ex1: ShatterMan has Power Fist at Class E.  His punches do 38 points of 
  damage.  His Power Kick does 42pts, his Power Cross does 40. When he 
  chooses to detonate, he does 45 points of damage with a 2 yard Radius  
  explosion (0-2 yards does ½ damage, 2-4 yards does ¼ damage). 
   
   
   
   
   
  Precision 
  Type: Offensive/Single Rank 
  You can execute a "precision" strike to penetrate armor more effectively. Precision 
  reduces Armor (not Force Fields) by its value before damage is applied. If the 
  character spends an 8 REA Long analyzing an opponent, he can reduce the value of 
  the Armor by a POWER of 1.5 instead of 1. This lasts for the entire combat. 
  POWER 1 
   
   
  Minimum Value is that of highest Offensive power +2 
   
   
  Ex1: A character with Power Fist of D (34 Damage) buys Precision. This costs 
  an F and removes 11 Armor from the target. 
   
  Ex2: Ballistics has a .44 Auto-mag mm doing 18pts of damage (A).  His 
  shooting style gives it a Precision of C (which is more than A4, the minimum 
  cost). His C Precision reduces 8 points of armor from each target shot. If he 
  analyzes the target, he reduces the armor by 12. 
   
   
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
  Radiation Blast 
  Type: Offensive/Single Rank 
  You fire a burst of concentrated radiation.  This has two primary effects: outright 
  damage due to tissue disruption and … Radiation Sickness!  Radiation Blasts are 
  ineffective against Force Fields, and Shell Type armor gets +2 Ranks (+6 defense) 
  against them. 
   
  When a character is hit, he suffers the damage and a POWER vs. STAT attack of the 
  following POWER (rolled vs. CON). It is rolled for an hour after the battle.

  Minor Effect: The character is sick (nauseated, pale, etc.) for 3 days. Most non-critical 
  actions are performed at –2 during this time. 
   
  Standard Effect: The character is so sick he can't do anything for [20 – CON] days. If 
  actions are necessary, they're performed at –2 (combat) and the character is at half-
  move. CON rolls to recover damage are at –2. Medical care gives +1 to + 4 depending 
  on the technology. 
   
  Major Effect: The character is incapacitated. Each day the character makes a CON roll 
  at –2. If the roll is missed CON-10 times, the character slips into a comma. If the roll is 
  made CON-10 times, he moves to the Standard effect. 
   
  Critical Effect: The character is perilously ill. As above but CON-4. 
   
  Catastrophic Effect: The character rolls at CON-6.

  Rockets 
  Type: Offense/Multiple Rank 
  Grenades, rockets, missiles, etc. all use these rules.  A rocket is an aimed, 
  self-propelled missile (usually with an explosive warhead).  A Grenade is 
  usually thrown but may be launched (at shorter range) with a grenade 
  launcher.  Missiles are guided weapons that often operate at extreme range 
  and must usually 'lock on' to a target before being fired.

  Armor Piercing Shells: the first number is Impact damage, the second 
  number is subtracted from Armor (not from Force Fields). The Armor reduction 
  value is NOT modified by Damage Modification rolls. 
   
  Anti-Personnel: the second number is a Penetration attack that is reduced the 
  same way explosives are (with a 2 yard RAD). Thus, targets 4 yards away 
  from a Medium AP warhead take an Impact blast for 26/4 = 6 damage and a 
  Penetration attack for 20/4 = 5 pts.  The DM bonus for these attacks is 4 + 1 
  per 2 points of Mass (size) above 2 the target has (Mass 5 targets take +5 
  DM).

  Thermal Tracking: If the target has a burning body, is using rocket flight, or 
  using energy attacks (GM's discretion) he is at +2 to be locked on to (the to-hit 
  roll). Otherwise the target is at –1 to be targeted.  No cost modification 
  Radar Tracking: The rocket tracks using radar homing.  The rocket's range is 
  extended to –1/100 yds, it takes 3 seconds to lock on. No cost modification.  
  This is usually only for air-to-air rockets.  If the missile can only be used 
  against radar-emitting targets (air-craft, some characters) then it gets +2 to 
  lock and –1/100 yards range. 
   
  Ex: Rocket Man (apologies to Elton John) has a 3 Shot Rocket Rack (Large Warhead). 
  The cost is E –1 or D for 3 large rockets.

  Sonic Blast 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Wreak havoc with sound!  The sonic blast strikes for POWER Impact damage.  
  The blast is more effective against Bio Armor and has an armor reduction 
  factor of 1.25 (so an E sonic blast reduces 13 points of Bio Armor). Under 
  water the damage is 1.5x (sound is stronger under water). It may be fired once 
  a turn for each 10 full REA the character has and has a standard range (-1 per 
  5 yards). 
  Damage POWER 3.25 
   
  Bio Armor Reduction POWER 1 
   
  Ex1: Screamer has a Class E Sonic Blast that strikes for 33 points of damage.  Against 
  targets with Bio Armor, their defense is reduced by 10 points! 
   
   
   
  Stretching 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  You are plastic and malleable!  This is good for squeezing through tight 
  spaces, winning wrestling contests, and reaching for a glass of water from 
  across the room. Stretching has a number of advantages associated with it: a 
  better Grapple Score, the ability to move just by stretching, the ability to launch 
  Super Grab and Super Grapple attacks, and the fact that you take less 
  damage from collisions (splat!) 
   
  Grapple: You replace your Grapple Scores with POWER 5 Grapple or your natural 
  Grapple, whichever is higher.  Within POWER .5 yards you can perform a Super 
  Grapple (5 yards for Class E) but within POWER 1 yards you can a Super Grab (10 
  yards for Class E).  Ranged HTH attacks (punches and kicks and normal grabs) can be 
  launched at POWER 2 yards with no range modifiers. 
   
  Movement: You can ‘flow’ at POWER 2 yards per second.  If on one turn you 
  reach out up to POWER 2 yards, for a 5 REA Medium action on the next turn, 
  you can pull yourself over there. 
   
  Flow: If you have Class D or better Stretching you can flow through small pipes (5 BLD 
  per second to get through a 1” pipe or under a door). With F or better, you can go 
  anywhere that’s not water-tight (1 BLD per second through modern keyholes, through 
  fine grates, etc.) 
   
  Collisions: You’ll never suffer an ‘inelastic’ collision if you have Class D or 
  better Stretching.  Why?  ‘Cause you’re elastic! 
  Ex1: The Malleable Man has POWER E Stretching. His Offensive Grapple is 
  55, his Defensive Grapple is 50 (using the +10% for Offensive Grapple rule).  
  He Super Grapples at 5 yards and can Super Grab at 10.  When he moves, he 
  does so at 20 yards per second (long legs and such). 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
  Super Strength 
  Type: Primary Offense 
  You have incredible strength (and maybe size).  Super Strength comes in 
  several flavors depending on whether you’re big, dense, or just plain strong.  
  In addition to granting strength (STR) Super Strength also gives you BLD 
  and Damage Points (depending on type). 
   
  Extra-Strength: The character is not "super" strong but is stronger 
  than most normal men. This ability is designed for either campaigns 
  where "typical" Super Strength is outlawed for a small sub-set of 
  characters whose STR is supposed to be "just a little high." Note: the 
  STR from this ability does NOT count as a super power (and with 
  stack with other HTH attacks that stack with STR).  You cannot have 
  this and any other version of Super Strength.  The GM is free to 
  extend ban to Automaton, Robot Body, Power Armor, etc. 
  POWER

  Enhanced Physique: The character is normal size and weight but is 
  very strong and tough.

  DP 3 
   
  Dense: The character is composed of extra dense material.  The 
  character is normal sized but very heavy. Dense characters are 
  slower than normal.  Depending on what kind of rank your Dense is, 
  you will have less Initiative and, possibly, fewer points of REA!

  Primary +2 or more 
  -4 Initiative, -2 REA (if above 10) 
   
  Heavy: The character is big, but not giant. This ability creates big, 
  hulking characters who hit a little harder than their normal sized 
  counter-parts but are less concealable. 
  POWER 
  STR 3  
  BLD 2  
  DP 3.25 
   
  Colossus: You’re big!  The character is quite tall (see table for 
  actual height). This ability assumes you can grow and shrink.  If you 
  change size, keep track of your DP and Wound Scores since you 
  don’t get your maximum Damage Points unless you’re full size. 
   
  Important: Due to their massive size (and Damage Points) giants 
  have fewer points of armor (or Force field or any other primary 
  defense) than normal.  When you take any amount of Colossus, you 
  must divide the points you get in a primary defense (usually Armor or 
  Force Field) by 2.

  Note: Mixing and matching.  It is not legal to mix or match types of Super Strength. If 
  you have a character with more than one type (for example Colossus and Enhanced 
  Physique) then only one may be active at a time (perhaps when the character is 
  small the Enhanced Physique is in use but when the character grows to full size the 
  Colossus takes over).  
   
  The exception is Toughness: if your Toughness power gives more DP than your 
  Super Strength, use that number instead of the DP gained from Super Strength (not 
  in addition to: don't add them). 
   
  Ex1: Tour de Force has F Heavy.  His STR +33 (above normal), his BLD is +22 (above 
  normal) and his DP are +36 above normal.  He hits for 33 + 4 = +36 Damage (the +4 is 
  for BLD) above his normal punch damage. 
   
  Telekinesis 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank (optional Dual) 
  Manipulate objects with your mind!  Telekinesis allows you to use the STR of 
  the ability at range.  Unlike Stretching, if you’re holding someone with TK, they 
  aren’t touching you—they may not be able to hit you back. 
   
  TK can strike for [POWER] damage and manipulates objects as though at 
  POWER STR.  Telekinesis can be used to Super Grapple, Grab, and Super 
  Grab.  It strikes as a normal ranged attack.  When a character is held in the 
  Super Grapple, he is at –1 to hit all other characters (including the character 
  grappling him) per point of negative damage modifier. 
    
  The Offensive and Defensive Grapple of TK is [2+POWER].  
   
  Super Lift: Some TK characters have a much stronger lift than they have a 
  grip.  A second ability can be bought.  This ability has a POWER of 3.25 and 
  this POWER is used for purposes of Lift only. 
   
  Blasting out of TK grapples: TK creates a barely-tangible field around the 
  target (and a visible effect—unless the GM rules otherwise).  This can be 
  attacked. The character who is grappled can try to blast out.  If they can do 
  POWER x 3 damage with an attack directed at the field they can blast their 
  way out.  The character rolls to hit at the hold negative (apply the Damage 
  Mod negative as well). 
   
  POWER 1 (Super Lift is an optional Second Rank with POWER of 3.25) 
  Ex1: MindOver has TK Class G.  This has an Offensive/Defensive Grapple of 
  14 and strikes for 12 Damage.  The lift is (12x75 = 1050lbs.).

  Tornado 
  Type: Offensive/Single Rank 
  You create a whirlwind around your body or send a small tornado out to wreak havoc! 
  When a target comes in contact with a Tornado, it makes a Grappling roll using its 
  POWER against the target’s.  Because of the nature of the Tornado, the target’s 
  Grapple is his Mass + ½ normal STR bonus (unless the target is holding a stationary 
  object, in which case he gets his full STR bonus added). 
   
  The controlling character can take a 5 REA Medium to re-roll the grapple, hoping for a 
  better success.  If he gets the same success he currently has, the condition is improved 
  by one. Conversely, a held character can try to break out of the Tornado using Break 
  Grapple. The success of the Break Grapple attempt will reduce the level of 
  containment. 
   
   
  Minor Success: Target is stopped by the wind.  The character fights to keep 
  his feet and moves only one step forward (if moving at all).  The character’s to-
  hit rolls are at –1. The character may move normally to leave the whirlwind, by 
  moving directly away from the center. 
   
  Success: Target is buffeted.  The target is blown out of the wind in a random 
  direction, moving POWER / Mass yards for collision damage.  The character 
  gets an AGI roll at –1 per yard moved to remain standing. 
   
  Major Success: Target is picked up!  The target is picked up by the wind (or 
  ejected instantly in a random direction if the controller wishes).  To-hit rolls are 
  at –5 and the target is whipped around inside the tornado.  At the end of each 
  turn (including the first) the controlling character makes a roll: on an 8- the 
  target is hurled out of the tornado in a random direction, flying [PWER / Mass] 
  yards for collision damage.  Otherwise, the target held in the tornado for the 
  next turn.  If the wind is moved, the target will automatically be thrown out.  If a 
  held character breaks the Grapple in one turn, he will be thrown in a random 
  direction. 
   
  Critical Success: Target is captured in the wind (or ejected instantly in a 
  random direction if the controller wishes).  The target is at –7 to-hit and is 
  whipped around.  The controlling character can eject captured people as 
  above (but in the direction desired).  If a held character breaks the Grapple in 
  one turn, he will be thrown in a random direction. 
   
  Note: Characters caught in the wind may try to maneuver.  Characters may 
  make an AGI, Acrobatics, or Flight roll at –6 (-3 at L3, -0 at L4) and take an 8 
  REA Long action to escape, exiting the wind in the direction they wish.  They 
  may choose to simply leap out or be propelled.  
   
  The Tornado may be centered on the creating character as a defense.  Each yard of 
  Tornado between a physical attack (bullets, arrows, thrown objects, etc.) gives the 
  character inside a cumulative –1 to be hit (this also applies to attacks being fired out of 
  the wind). 
   
  If the Tornado is created away from the controlling character, it moves at POWER / 2 
  yards per second and makes Casual Overruns against every target in its path and 
  radius.  Manipulating the Tornado is an 8 REA Long action. 
   
  The Tornado is POWER / 10 yards in radius, with a minimum of .5 yards (1 yard in 
  diameter).  If centered on the creating character, it has an eye large enough to hold 
  him. 
   
  POWER 2

  Tractor Beam 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  You can reach out and grab hold with a beam of energy.  Tractor Beams have two 
  statistics: their Grapple Score and their Lift/Push POWER.  When you hit someone with 
  a Tractor Beam (as a normal ranged attack) you make a Grapple Score roll vs. their 
  Defensive Grapple.  If you succeed, they’re grabbed!  This doesn’t ever act like a 
  Grapple and so long as they attack you, firing up the beam, you get no AGI bonus 
  against them either.  Once caught, they can be pushed or pulled towards or away from 
  you at [ Push / Their Mass ] yards/sec. If you are moving or flying with a tractor beam, 
  treat it as though you were carrying their mass. You cannot pick yourself up with your 
  own Tractor Beam, but you can anchor it to a target and pull yourself to it.  The Tractor 
  Beam doesn’t let you change their facing much.  You can move them left to right slowly 
  at [Push/ Their Mass x2] yards / sec. 
   
  Advanced Tractor Beam Rules: To stop flying characters from zooming by and 
  grabbing targets on the ground, a realistic and complicated rule can be 
  applied: if the tractoring character (or his target) is moving, when he makes his 
  Grapple Roll to lock on to them, he multiplies their Mass by his movement (in 
  yards per second) to get their Grapple Score.  Additionally, this can be applied 
  if they are moving too. 
   
   
  POWER Grapple 2.5 Push/Lift 4 
   
   
  Ex1: Scram Jet has a Tractor Beam with a Grapple Score of 30.  He is standing still and 
  his 2 Mass target is flying away 10 yards per second.  This gives him a Grapple Score 
  of 20 plus any STR bonus instead of 2 plus any STR bonus.  If both characters were 
  moving away from each other, their speeds would be added. 
   
   
   
   
   
  Vibratory Blast 
  Type: Offense/Single Rank 
  Similar to the Sonic Blast, the Vibratory Blast uses ultra-sound with an 
  extremely high cyclic rate to shatter the target. This attack has an armor 
  reduction factor of 1 against Shell-Type armor. Against inanimate objects it 
  does 2x base damage. It may be fired once a turn for each 10 full REA the 
  character has and has a standard range (-1 per 5 yards). 
  POWER 3.5 
  Shell-Type armor reduction POWER 1  
   
  Ex1: Shatter has a Class E Vibratory Bolt that hits for 35 points of damage.  
  Against walls, machines, and doors it does 70!  If the target has Shell-Type 
  armor (also applied to Power Armor) it gets reduced by 10.

  Wind Blast 
  Type: Offensive/Single Rank 
  You fire a super strong blast of air!  It strikes as a streaming attack that does 
  no immediate damage but knocks the character back for POWER / Mass 
  yards. It may be fired once a turn per 10 full REA the character has.  
  POWER 4 
   
   
  Ex1: Cyclone has a Class F Wind Blast that he fires at a Mass 3 thug.  The POWER of 
  the blast is 48 and Cyclone hits for 1x damage. The thug is blown back (48 / 3 = 16 
  yards).  He strikes a wall taking inelastic collision damage for (48 / 2 = 24pts of 
  damage).  If he had hit something flimsier (like another person) he’d only have taken 
  (48 / 6 = 8) damage. If he hadn’t hit anything (just blown along the ground) he’d have 
  taken (48 / 12 = 4) damage.  If Cyclone hits by 4+, the thug will be trapped against 
  whatever he hits by a 48 offensive Grapple! 
   
  Weapon (HTH) 
  Type: Offensive/Multiple Rank 
  You use a weapon!  Magic swords, energy hammers, etc. are all possible.  
  How these abilities are bought is determined by whether the character has 
  Super Strength or not and whether the ability represents a ‘regular’ version of 
  the weapon.  Any ability bought with these rules uses the appropriate skill to hit 
  and the user reduces the REA cost as though the weapon were normal (so a 
  Level 3 Character with Sword skill reduces the listed REA cost by –1/-2 just 
  like normal). 
   
  If you have Super Strength (other than Strong), unlike in the normal game, the 
  damage done with a weapon doesn’t add to Base HTH Damage.  Instead, it 
  replaces the damage.  If you have a Super Strong character and want to give 
  him a weapon, make sure that your rank of Super Strength and your rank of 
  HTH Weapon are approximately equal. 
   
  This is the table for creating your weapon:

  Ex1: Eberos has a black blade of shadow.  He doesn’t have Super 
  Strength, but he wants a “mega-sword” that will do a lot of damage.  
  He selects the Medium Reach weapon and buys it at Class F.  This 
  weapon does 33 Penetration Damage. His normal HTH damage adds 
  normally. 
   
  Ex2: Sigguard has a Hammer and Class H Super Strength (Enhanced 
  Physique).  He punches for 52 damage.  He buys a Class G Hammer 
  
  V1.0 copyright © 2001 by Marco Chacon 
  and hits with the hammer for 56 damage (but pays extra REA). 
   
  If you don’t have Super Strength, or don’t want a regular version of the 
  weapon, then you can use of these options: 
   
  Basic, Normal Weapon: In this case, the POWER of the weapon does 
  add to Base HTH damage just like normal.  Make sure your POWER is 
  equal to the damage bonus the ordinary weapon has and apply the 
  normal stats (Swing and Back Swing cost, etc.).  Remember, you can’t 
  combine this damage with Super Strength—only what your normal 
  character does.  On the other hand, the weapon’s damage is whatever 
  you pay for, even if it’s above the “actual” damage listed for normal 
  weapons of that type (so a J sword does +20 Damage but counts as 
  normal). 
   
   
   
  Impact Damage  
  Penetration Damage 
  POWER 
  Base Value + 3   
  Base Value +1 
   
  Ex1: The Argent Fencer has a Broad Sword that does +6 damage (just 
  like a normal Broad Sword). The Base Value of a penetrating attack 
  that does 6 damage is A1 (Base Value of 5, +1 since the sword is 
  Penetrating).  This A5 ability buys him a normal sword.  It makes all his 
  HTH damage penetrating, hits at medium reach, etc.  He can’t buy this 
  if he has any Super Strength whatsoever. If his normal Base Damage 
  was 4, he does 10 points of damage with a sword swing. 
   
  Unusual Weapon Effects: If you have an attack ability (like Lightning) 
  and want to treat it like a weapon, apply this modifier: 
   
   
   
   
  Skill 
   
  Reach           Swing/B-Swing Cost 
  Sword:  
  Medium Reach REA +1/+2 
  Class –2  
  Sword:   
  Long Reach 
  REA +3/+4 
  Class –2 
  Sword:  
  Long Reach 
  REA +0/+0 
  Class –1  
   
  Axe/Hammer: Medium Reach REA +2/+4 
  +1 Class 
  Axe/Hammer:  Medium Reach REA +0/+0 
  Class –2  
  Staff: 
   
  Long Reach 
  REA +0/+0 
  Class –1  
   
  Morning Star: 
  Medium Reach REA +2/+4 
  Class +0 (-3 BLK)
   
  Nunchuks 
  Medium Reach REA +1/+0 
  Class +2 (-2 BLK)  
   
  Ex1: A character with a “Lightning Hammer” buys Class E Lightning 
  and, because using his Lighting is now a HTH attack costing +2/+4 
  REA (and hitting with Axe skill) it is promoted to Class F. 
   
  Ex2: Striker has a ‘Force Ball and Chain.’  This is a Morning Star with 
  the effect of Force Bolt.  If his damage is Class E, he also pays an E 
  cost to give it a –3 to be blocked, but with the extra REA cost. He 
  could choose to make it work like Nunchucks (-2 to be blocked, no 
  extra REA cost) and would have to pay a G to have that weapon. 
   
  Note: if your ‘thrown hammer’ returns to you, buy the ability like Power 
  Blast. If you want to make one of the none-Penetrating attacks 
  Penetrating, this usually do this by subtracting 1 from the POWER of 
  an Impact attack.

  Note: if you (likely) have a L3 skill in the weapon of choice, you’ll pay 
  less REA than is listed. This is okay. 
   
  Cutting POWER .25 
  Damage POWER 3 
   
   
  Ex1: Siguard has a Class E Hammer that strikes for 50 points of 
  damage.  It has a Medium Reach.  He can throw it once (then he has 
  to go get it). If he wants it to come back to him, he’s advised to buy 
  Power Blast (POWER 4) and if he has both at Class E, he can throw it 
  for 40 damage or strike for 50.  If he decides that when thrown it takes 
  a turn to come back (so it’s useful every other turn) then it’s an ability 
  useful every other turn: +1 Class (F), so he does 48pts with the thrown 
  hammer.
