Basic Action Super Heroes!

suppose I want to use Continual Damage and I want to get a bonus to hit with it - how do I do that?

and how do I do that as a Normal?

I have a power defined as a flamethrower. It is a gadget that sets people on fire, so they take continual damage.

I can buy up continual damage for more damage - but what do I buy to increase my to hit with the flamethrower?

do I buy Boost only to hit with the flamethrower?

If the flamethrower is a gadget (ie has some kind of gadget limitation), then you can use it while having the normal disadvantage.

Hey dugfromthearth,

Yes, that's what I do. Buy Boost (only to hit with flamethrower).

Best,

Dragonfly

Would Special Technique also apply? Don't have the book in front of me to confirm.

Weapon Technique would work if you're using a normal weapon (ie one you don't buy with character points). If the flame thrower is something out of an equipment list, then you're good to go.

Flame Throwers are listed- by the way- in the Golden Age section of Chapter 5: Settings

But if you want to build a Flamethrower as a gadget, I would do it as "Boost: Agility w/ Flame Thrower"

Another option is the create a new Enhancement called "Accuracy" where each point gives +1 Multiplier to Hit.
