Mayfair DC Heroes Character Database: Sensory Block

Sensory Block

Description: This Power allows a Character to totally obstruct the senses of an opposing Character. Such an attempt requires an Action Check with AV/EV equal to the AP's of Sensory Block and OV/RV's equal to the opponent's Int/Mind. If RAP's exceed the opponents Mind, his senses will be completely, their sense will be completely blocked for an amount of time (in AP's) equal to the RAP's earned (or until the using Character either falls unconscious, voluntarily release the opponent, or moves out of Range.)

A Character with block senses has the OV/RV of any Action Check they attempt increased by the RAP's earned by the Sensory Block attach. In addition, such a Character suffers a -2 Column Shift modifier to their OV against Physical Attacks.

~~Projectra (Sensor Girl) has this Power.~~

Ed's Notes: First thing... Sensor Girl does not have this Power. (Not according to the 2995 LoS Sourcebook anyway.) Second time I've found this error. (Superman doesn't have Ultra Vision either.)

Second thing... Question... Suppose RAP's do not exceed the target's Mind... Does anything happen? Like... if you get 3 RAP's against a Mind of 6... Are the target's senses at least partially blocked? Do they still have the OV/RV of Action Checks increased by 2? I say they do, but... It doesn't say so.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Mayfair Games DC Heroes RPG online Character Database!

This is a older game, long out of print, but I was a huge fan of it (obviously) and would love to get a group back together at some point. In the meantime, I hope you find this resource to be both useful and enjoyable.

The information contained herein comes primarily from the second and third editions of the game, although if a character exists only in the (pre-Crisis) 1st edition, and I feel that their stats can be reasonably used and be a good fit with the later (post-Crisis) editions, I may include them as well, for completeness sake. Eventually all entries will include links to previously published versions of the character, and ALL character information on any given page will be cited back to the published source material. Links between the characters, their Connections, Teams, Bases of Operation, etc... will be included as often as possible - which should make this more interesting.

I may also include some notes with some of the entries, explaining how I might change the character in my campaigns - Handling connections differently (because I interpret the JLA and JLI my own way, and don't even recognize the JLE, for example), adding skills (how does Bat-Girl have a Batarang, but not the Weaponry skill?!) And in some cases just some general thoughts. (Likes/dislikes, head-scratchers, etc...)

I also think there should be a discussion, if people are interested in having one. So please leave comments, but also bear in mind that this is meant to be a FUN place for people with a shared interest and hobby. So, PLEASE, stay on topic and DON'T BE A DICK! ;)
