[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 7929978, member: 1125"] I think the Flash does well in protraying that just because he’s physically fast, his mind and perception still need to take time - and thats the exploit opponents can use. The big issue though is Power levels which somehow need to be divorced from ‘Levelling’.I wonder to if it would be better to keep HP low (1d4 per level maybe) and understand HP as ’Action Effectiveness“ (Hero Points) rather than ‘Hits’. Would this help to recast conflict as being about reducing an opponents ability to Act (Spiderman snagging Winter Soldiers arm with webbing, the Flash being hit with a Cold Ray) rather than actually beating them up. (The death of Superman from Doomsdays Massive Damage attack would be the dramatic exception not a ordinary part of the rules) The example of Superman v Batman also suggests that combat also needs to be broadened so that Superman can uses his Super Str for attack and defense while Batman uses his Super Wis. Superman gets a Class build of Brick ( Super Str+Con) with added Flight, Laser beam (eye) ‘Powers’. Batman has Class build of Genius (Wis/Int/Cha (Detective/Gadgeteer) and Martial Artist with Gadget Feats & Powers. [/QUOTE]
