We had this situation come up in our game
the other night:
Our heroes were trying to get away from
some DP troops and a 25 foot tall DP battlemech. Rapido, the Speedster,
picked up Riposte, the Defender, and was trying to run away (she's a Size 4 and
he raised his Strength to be able to carry her with less of a movement
penalty). The battlemech opened fire with its railgun and Rapido
Dodged.
While carrying someone, can he use the
AfterImages Trick?
My initial thought was no,
because it's giving a Speedster Trick to a Defender, but the more I thought
about it, the more I wasn't sure. If he used AfterImages while carrying a
football, the football would be in all of the AfterImages, so where would the
line be drawn?
What I think I will be going with is yes,
he can use AfterImages while carrying someone/something,and they will be
included in the AfterImages, but he does have a modifier to his Dodge
TN. The penalty is 3 times the carried person's/object's size. So,
instead of needing his normal 15 to activate the Trick (TN of 10, plus the extra
success), he needs a 27 (TN of 10, plus (3xRipiste's Size of 4=)12=22 plus the
extra success to activate the Trick).
Thoughts?
Opinions?
