[QUOTE="Insight, post: 3619616, member: 11437"] Tonguez, read the following and tell me if throwing a vehicle at the shadow creatures is still what you want to do this round. [sblock=Bastion]Note: Mnemonic's emergency vehicle doesn't appear until his action, so you can't throw that right now, even if you wanted to. Give that, the nearest car is going to be one of the vans parked next to the maintenance building. They are 600ft away from your location. Bastion can still target them, as his Move Object ability has a base range of 100ft and works at up to 10 range increments (so max range is 1000ft). The Move Object ability gives Bastion an effective Strength of 50 for lifting things. The van weighs 1500lbs, so Bastion has 25 more effective Strength than needed to lift the van. Bastion can thus throw the van 125ft (pp. 36-37 M&M, throwing and extended carrying capacity). Picking up the van is a move action, and throwing it is a standard action, so Bastion can do both this round. The problem is that the shadow creatures are beyond your throwing range (200ft). So Bastion can't really hit them with a thrown van. You have another option at this point. By using Extra Effort, Bastion could temporarily increase his Kinetic Control by 2 ranks (to 12) for one round. This would in turn increase his effective Strength for Move Object to 60 (giving Bastion 35 more effective Strength than needed to lift the van). By doing this, Bastion could throw a van 500ft, well within your ability to attempt to hit a shadow creature. Bastion would end up taking a -2 penalty for range, because the shadow creatures are in your second range increment (100ftx2). If Bastion does this, he will be [i]fatigued[/i], but you could spend a Hero Point next round to shake off the condition if you wish.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
