Redirection
Kineticism • Level 4
Your mastery of Kineticism has expanded to objects beyond your own body. By applying a mix of inertia and acceleration to an object, you can redefine its path, sending it on whatever course you desire.
Focus
Wits
You may also redirect attacks that meet this power’s criteria which fail against other individuals. If two Kineticism practitioners with the focus both seek to redirect the same attack, the one with the highest initiative order has the opportunity to do so first. If this still results in a tie and both parties wish to spend charges to redirect the attack, then both parties spend their charges, and the forces cancel; the attack is not redirected. You also may redirect your own failed attacks against a specific target or a different one, subject to the above rules for redirection.
System
Whenever you succeed in defending against a firearm or a thrown weapon attack, or whenever you successfully defend against a power which involves a projectile such as Taste of Death, Conflagration, or Flame Bolt, you may spend 2 charges to activate this power. If you do, you may redirect the failed attack to a new target of your choice. Make an opposed challenge against that target using the Kineticism test pool. If you succeed, you may apply the effects of the original power to the new target. This attack counts towards, and must abide by, the maximum attacks per round limitation. You may only use this power during Celerity rounds if you are able to act during that same round. Powers which do not involve an actual projectile, such as Force Bolt or Engulf, cannot be redirected with this power. Any qualities that applied to the original attack, such as from a gun with Accurate or Deadly, a shotgun with the Spray quality, or a bonus from a power such as Projectile, do not carry over into the new attack.
Exceptional Success
Your redirected attack does 1 additional point of damage of its type. This effect replaces any exceptional success bonus the original attack against you would have done.
