Knockback

[Saker]

Just saw Thor Ragnarok and enjoyed watching Thor and Hulk knock each other back after hits (among the rest of the movie).

Currently, the Knockback UE rules are "Every point of damage rolled on an attack knocks the opponent back 1 foot- reduced by their Brawn x10."

Should Knockback be based on Growth sizes instead of Brawn?

Both Thor & Hulk have about Brawn 5, so the likelihood that they do that much damage (and thus knockback) to each other is low in BASH. However, if Knockback was instead "Every point of damage rolled on an attack knocks the opponent back 1 foot- reduced by their [bGrowth[/b]x10" they would easily do that much knockback.

And Growth would include Density Increase, which always gets knockback reduction.

What do you think?

I like this, Saker. Small and Shrinking powers could likewise increase the distance of the knowckback (unless they have enhancements to keep their normal mass).

My understanding is that knock-back is based on damage rolled, not damage taken. So you might soak all damage but still get knocked back quite far.

Anyway, reducing knock-back distance by Size x 10 feet seems perfectly fine to me if you want some extra oomph.
