Actually, based on this post: http://omniverse-rpg.com/showthread.php?...6#pid47696
CQS is a purely Physical Proficiency based move. I rely on my TEC of 5. Which at the time was 4 (Because a high TEC person can deflect as was previously said.) Foresight is just an added bonus to my combat ability. None of my moves use Foresight IIRC.
Quote:The problem with throwing a rock in comparison to this is that it can't be prepared because rocks fall and move about. It needs to be in the right place a the right time, and - without Vash saying he's able to throw it super fast - it would be too slow.
In the real world you'd get no argument from me, Dane. However, this is the Omniverse. For the sake of fairness a rock has the same potential as a bullet when written into a move properly regardless of whether or not it's being propelled by gunpowder or muscular force.
If Vash wants to say he throws it really fast I'd still say the move is fine, but the drawback would be taking a toll on his stamina during the fight. He couldn't keep doing it (similar to CQS draining Trixie if all she did was defend.) His TEC allows this to be possible regardless of his SPD stat or ATK stat.
Quote:No. Enhanced senses let's him see everything. If he's not focusing on someone like a cowboy standoff, he's not going to be able to react the moment they shoot. Enhanced senses would just let him react to invisible people (if they don't have suppression), or people behind him. But he'd still need to be roughly focusing on them. That's from both a practical and a balance perspective.
I'll give you that, but the rest of my points still stand. The move would force his character, in the moment, to focus and deflect.
Quote:And, while he could know where a bullet was mid-fight with that power (and could probably do it without if he was looking), that would not allow enough time to throw a rock to block it unless the shot is slow or was fired from far away.
Circling back to what I said before, with a TEC of 4 it's absolutely viable.
