Aberrant RPG - Power Blocking

[Jager]

What powers can block other powers, per the manuever (pg. 243)?

Ex.: Could Telepathy be used to block Telepathy?

Or, Mental Blast, as they are both mental powers?

Hmm...

I suspect that Telepathy would Block Telepathy, Domination & Hypnosis, but probably not Mental Blast (I don't see how Telepathic Dexterity is really going to defend again an all-out Mental attack).

My summary of everything else:

All Attacks

• Disrupt
• Dominate (kinda)

All Non-Mental Attacks

• Absorption
• Force Field
• Matter Creation
• Quantum Construct
• Molecular Manipulation

Mental Attacks

• Telepathy (prob. not against Mental Blast)

Physical Attacks

• Gravity Control
• Temporal Manipulation
• Entropy Control

Hand-to-hand Attacks

• Claws
• Immobilise

Specific Attacks

• Elemental Anima/Mastery (vs Element)
• Magnetic Mastery (vs Metal)
• Weather Manipulation (vs Itself)

This is by no means a completed list. Also, I run by Stunt rules - if it's cool enough that they should be able to do it, by all means I should give them a go at doing it.

Resisted attacks can't technically be blocked... although this begs for a house rule saying otherwise.

Similarly, you can't technically use a resisted attack to block a dodgeable attack...

Having said that, I wouldn't protest against Immobilize being used to block a HtoH attack or a q-bolt for that matter.
