[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6032905, member: 87792"] Not an anxiety attack. Merely a lot of eyerolling. I can cope with GURPS Vehicles if I need to. You can do [I]that[/I] in MHRP. It just doesn't do anything notably different from hitting them with your fists. And, as Empowered pointed out in one memorable scene, that's being generous to the car thrower. The right thing to do with a car is climb in and ram the bad guy. Not at all. You can hit someone with a car without tagging it as an asset. If you want a bonus from throwing a car that's a stunt. If you want to get in the car and crash it into the villain that's probably a stunt (it might even be an asset and your next move is to drive back over it) - and is more effective than throwing the car. If you want to use a car, that's normally cosmetic. If you want to get a one-shot bonus from a car, that's a stunt. Spend a plot point and add a d8 to your pool. If you're trying to escape and want to jack a car because you don't have superspeed or flight, that's an asset. Spend a turn to climb in the car, make a roll against the doom pool to jack it, and you've an asset for the rest of the scene as you turn your attempt to escape into a car chase. I remember that RPG.net thread. And the multiple interpretations. The one question I would raise is "What is a sight based attack?" Because I can't think of any explicitely sight based attacks from [I]anyone[/I] (with the possible exception of Mysterio). This is an edge case, and one rule of writing a rules-light game is "don't sweat the small stuff". On the other hand I can think of attacks that involve the sense of sight - such as a telepathic illusion. So Daredevil could spend a plot point to say "Your illusion doesn't work on a blind man. Sure I can see it. That's the problem." Or again hypnosis. That dirty great spinning disk is a part of the attack - but only part of it. If Daredevil doesn't spend a plot point the words and the tone get him. If he does the hypnotic disk his fellow heroes are drooling at does nothing.
