Super TK: Using people as bludgens...

Unread post by VR Dragon »

So I was wondering how this works out. Can you use Super TK with enough ISP to lift up a person and use them to hit other people with? How do you handle save throws and damage?

No saving throw, damage is based on weight as per the power.

How about using TK to grab some and slam them against a wall or say a TK force field?

Or how much damage would someone take if they are being used to hit someone?

Hm.
Look up the rules for supernatural strength and melee weapons. It has something about breaking weapons if you do enough damage.

Tk isnt supernatural ps. But does the body of the person take damage?

Seems reasonable.

No ****.

That would be a reasonable extrapolation from the rules that I mentioned.

the being used as a bludgeon should take damage using the TK power's damage tables. just use the target's mass/size for that.

since the speed will remain constant in a comparison of the bludgeon and bludgeoned, only the size/mass will differ.

Given that in N&SS when you body flip someone into someone else they take the same damage that's probably an okay precedent for the thrown object and target taking the dmg.
