Re: [ORE] Godlike BDB question

Way cool, and very sad, yes. We came this close to losing a guy on Majo. I ruled he was dead but in a short discussion that followed we realized he should have been awarded a Will point a turn earlier. He was just one point shy in the Contest of Wills of stopping the ubermensch. I let him use the point, and he ended up surviving.
 

Nope, they can't interfere with his power. He's not using the power on the PCs, he's using his power on the ground. He's altering the ground when he creates his trench network (or fills it in). Therefore, there's no Contest of Wills triggered. The PCs are just caught in the mess.

The same thing is true if an ubermensch dropped boulders on the PCs. The power is acting on the boulder (lifting it above the PC, and then turning the power off and letting gravity do the work), not the PC.

It should really hammer home the advantage of indirect powers in Godlike. They can't use their Will to stop the trenches rolling up. If he's killed, the trenches start rolling up, too.
