Vash, using his sharp senses and wit, can predict where many projectiles will end up. By throwing rocks or other hard objects in his vicinity Vash can deflect individual physical projectiles such as bullets, arrows, bolts, or other forms of small ballistic munitions one at a time. This will only work if Vash can see the source of the projectile (unless it moves at an exorbitantly slow pace), it isn't excessively large, and his TEC is equal to or exceeds the ATK of the weapon being used.
You realise bullets travel a lot faster than thrown rocks, right? In many cases, you would have to be throwing a rock before the bullet is even fired. I'm fine with you throwing a rock or something like that to bounce away a thrown grenade or another rock, or a magical spell that doesn't travel really fast, but even with 5 TEC, doing it against a bullet is just kinda silly. You would need a stupidly high SPD stat to be able to flick your arm fast enough for the rock to really leave your hand before a bullet hits you. Heck, you would have to be predicting where they're going to shoot before they've even finished aiming in some situations (which would naturally be impossible since they'd just aim somewhere where the rock isn't).
If you want to pull off something crazy like this, you'd be better off getting the foresight power and a move that lets you try to shoot enemy bullets or ranged attacks as the fire them. Or make your thrown rock move only work for enemy attacks that you'd reasonably be able to react to.
@Dane:
Stepping in here, but I feel as tho rocks, bullets, or any kind of projectile, only travel at the speed of your character's detailed move. I can throw a rock at the same speed as you can shoot a 9mm in the Omni. So, due to Omniphysics, what you said wasn't actually accurate. It would only be true if the opponents speed heavily outweighed Vash's. He only needs to be able to reasonably predict the angle of the shot and toss the rock before-hand, which isn't impossible for even normal people, tho, I would agree adding foresight to this move would make it more effective and viable.
