Range:
OOXOXOO
OXOXOXO
OOXOXOO
OOOOOOO
OOOROOO
R=Rahel (Facing Up) O= Unaffected Space X= Affected Space

[spoiler]OOSOSOO
OTOTOTO

I was thinking that she would fire arrows in three different waves. She would hit the Fs first, then hit the Ss with 2 arrows, and finally, she would fire three arrows hitting the Ts.[/spoiler]

Cost: 16
Damage: Strength + Arrow Storm Level + (Psy Power/2)
Prerequisites: Power: 17, Psy Power: 12

Is everyone in agreeance for these stats?

I agree.

I'm hoping some of you could suggest a couple of new names for 'Air Blast'... I don't like the name myself, to tell the truth, but I couldn't come up with a better name...
Any names?

KZ

In that case, those who wish not to vote will simply not be included in the vote count ('cause giving 1/2 will make 2 neutral people support the idea and giving nothing will be rejecting the idea).
Then so far we have 4 "yay" 1 "nay" 1 "neutral" vote for "air blast". Certainly need much more input to make it clear if this will get formulated. Thus kindly do vote, folks!

I agree, Cypher, I also don't really like the name, but so far an alterantive is eluding me. Can anyone suggest a better name?

The, well, many-arrows idea has  4 "yay", 1 "nay, 1 "neutral" as well.



PS
I am not sold on the triple attack on the arrow storm- a double attack can be credible, with a lot of effort- otherwise this can be a bit too much.

How about that with same notation?

Why does she get to do three attacks in one turn, while every other charcter only gets one attack?

Well Griffin does get to do a double attack (with Double slash).

It think it would cost less than 16 if you are only going to fire 5 arrows. I'm thinking around 13/14?

Exactly what I had in mind about Griffin.
Well, the counter to high PsP is that Trueshaft costs 10 PsP, so firing 5 arrows very quickly should also be quite costly, so that people don't overuse the attack. Ok, say 14-15 PsP. What do you think, folks?

15 sounds good for a powerful attack like that. I'm in favor.

bugfartboy

I vote yay on the matter of arrow storm. I agree on the cost as well.

KZ

And what of modified air blast, bugfartboy?


Ok, thanks folks- I'm adding up the votes.

I really don't like it. But I guess I'll vote Yay just because I think the Red Spriggat will need more diversity from one attack to another.

KZ

Ok then, so you're voting yay "for the greater good", effectively?
This then brings up 5/5 yes, and one abstained for "Air Blast". Let's get more feedback on that one before that might get formalised.

[/quote]Griffin strikes in one direction and quickly spins in the other direction.  Double Slash takes as much time as Split Shot.  Your suggested attack with is like firing Split Shot three times, which is way too long for an attack.

KZ

What about firing split shot twice? Would that make sense?
Maybe have a Split shot followed by a "control" trueshaft?

Rahel shouldn't continuely notch, draw, and fire arrow after arrow for one attack.  That sounds like several attacks.

Attack 1:

Split Shot:

I like the air blast for the Spriggat. Perhaps a better name would be jet stream or Levanter or Aejej. (I also thought about wind tunnel but where is the tunnel?)

I'm in favour of Rahel having a new area attack. However, hitting only 3 places seems not enough (we already have one attack hitting 3 places) and hitting 7 places seems too much (in my opinion). I usually prefer nice symmetric shapes and I tend to see them as easier to make regularly than shapes with less symmetry.

I recall a suggestion of (arrow rain?) an arrow area attack x shaped, hitting 5 squares simultaneously.
