when you use the pause EVERYTHING option, would you be able to move a person? not necessarily move specific portions of their body, but move them entirely from where they are.

I'll go to get PU3 very soon. SO i'm guessing here now, but from what is said, I think that we could use a rule brought form an old tv series. Essentially you cna move objects as you wish. But for moving perosn you've to bring them in your time flow. Essentially to move something you've to "un-stop" them, and them only. So if you try to move a villain you'll make him/her awaken and aware again. As thumb rule I would suggest you can move only 20lb +10 lb per level of inorganic material, and only one person per level. At least considering how muhc i understood the power in question.

It depends on a number of things(power level of the campaigne being number1 and who is playing the charcter with the power being #2).

And if you have bio-aura can you move tings you normally wouldn't?

Seriously though, the power makes it quite clear that if you stop time for anything, it becomes completely indestructable. However, it also makes mention of setting traps and the like. There's nothing to stop the villain from pausing time, drawing a sword, and placing it to a person's throat before resuming time and lopping off a head... or similar but equally dastardly deeds. I think pulling the pin on a grenade and slipping it into the nearest hardware character's bag before running could be very... devastating.


God yes, its not so much that you're doing something 'immoral', just that you're doing something that your opponent has basically _no_ chance at preventing, which in game terms would be considered cheating. Although I guess it does fall into the same category as sniping.. although even that has a to-hit roll required, while using this power to move the bullet next to a villain or placing that grenade in their bag is pretty much no roll required (by the sounds of it).

I suspect that it's a power we'd rule out of bounds - as abusable or more so than negate superpowers against a superstrength target lifting a car over their head.

I'd say you can move and manipulate. I mean there's a guy doing it
on TV right now. I won't say who.

remember, kids, that every time you bring real world physics into a fantasy world discussion that god kills a catgirl. :D
