[QUOTE="TheHirumaChico, post: 9008527, member: 7022501"] Again, just my opinions, but I think that Strafe is meant to mow down masses of minions and mooks and not seriously threaten BBGs, mini-bosses, serious henchmen, and PCs. Making significant amounts of damage be automatic via Strafe would be pretty broken, so that's why it's a limited amount. I agree that it's not a lot of damage, but even the minimum one point of damage can still chip away at some bigger baddies, especially if there are multiple characters strafing their approach. Strafe is the only thing I'm aware of that automatically does damage via an action. Using the Disarm Called Shot action means paying for the dice out of one's attack pool, it's specifically a combat action. I've also interpreted the Disarm Universal exploit on p. 66 to be an attack action exploit. It just let's you pay one extra d6 over the standard Called Shot option to automatically succeed with this action, no roll to hit required. But it doesn't do any damage, it just disarms the target. I don't have any supernatural or magic stuff in my NOW campaign, so Force makes sense as a damage type (I think of it as concussive force or blast overpressure, and not as magical or supernatural) because there are no ghosts. :eek: [/QUOTE]
