Grim smiles and nods her head sharply. "That is exactly what I was thinking; see, I'm learning stuff all the time." She fades to a mere blur in the night air and quickly makes her way down the wall and quietly moves to the truck, where she waits.

I was mostly confused by the combo of 'play' and 'OOC', since I equate play with in-character. That all being said, since we're assuming this is a bit in the future, we can assume we know each other's capabilities, so this plan sounds good to me.

It would be straight Toughness, I think - it's basically a kinetic blast of power she generates in her fingertip with roughly the same amount of force as like a .38 revolver, maybe a little weaker. I really like the idea that it is very short range, so it pretty much has be applied at the point of contact.

Wait, how do we do that? We roleplay here in the OOC thread? I'm confused.

Good point - I guess I would call it something like 'Magic Bullet.' I'll look through the corebook and UP a bit more.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that either; the tricky thing I see her doing things like holding her finger under someone's jaw in a threatening way, and then choosing whether or not to blow the guy's head off, which feels more like a Blast than a Strike in operation. Also I see I misread Subtle, so she wouldn't actually have that feat if we went that route.

So I finally have an idea for a villain I like, Red Queen the Irish witch, and I came up with this odd sort of Blast power I wanted to run by folks. The idea came to me as a visual: doing a hit with a silenced pistol, minus the actual pistol. RQ would get behind someone, touch the back of their head with her finger, and then Paff!, they're dead. I was thinking of doing this with a Penetrating Blast with one level of Subtle but Range dropped down to Touch, so there would still be a flash, a bit of noise and a lingering stench of brimstone, and of course a corpse. I know a Touch-based Blast is kind of weird, but I love this concept so much - is there a better way to do this?
