Double Tap etc. "...cannot use any other powers..."

Post by glutgrim »

The description to double tap says that you can't use any other powers in the round that you use double tap.

Does this include things like IR vision? Danger Sense? Weapon Technique? Force field? If you can still use any or all of these powers, where is the dividing line?

Many thanks!

It means you cannot use it along with Energy Blasts, etc. It is meant to be used with regular ranged weapons, not powers. Likewise, you cannot activate other powers while you are concentrating on taking the two shots; so you cannot use something like shape-shift, force field, etc, that also would distract from your concentration.

Weapon Technique is a training power, so yes, you can use it to aim your weapon. Training Powers can always be used with other Training Powers.

We do not play this restriction.

I find the difference between Ricochet and Intense Training Powers like Double Taps, Offhand Shooting, Paired Weapons or Swift Strike not a big one. Also compare it with Super Speed. For three points a hero can buy a whole additional Panel per page, so attack, move, ...

The only restriction we play is that the above Intense Training Powers may not be combined with Burst Powers as this is not * in my eyes. In our campaign it is an alternative to ricochet if you want so.
