On the topic of combining Distance Strike with other abilities... Would a mystic adept be able to cast a touch-range spell via a successful Distance Strike attack? Or would that be a no-no?

Street magic explicitly forbids the use of elemental strike and penetrating strike (in that power's description) but includes the use of killing hands. What about Critical Strike?

Critical and Distance Strike work, i think.

Well, you can become a Magic Attribute Death-Zone of your very own right, that's true . . . But eh, the Samurai can become a 500m death-zone with one Assault-Rifle ^^

QUOTE (AngelisStorm @ Dec 6 2008, 02:48 AM) Attune (item) doesn't make the weapon magical, it simply attunes you to the item. Yes, you can have a throwing weapon foci. But as soon as the foci leaves your hand, it switches off. So not so useful. And he said magic bow. If he had said magic arrow, I would have gone with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I just couldn't think of any spells that would be useful to have permanently on a bow. (Disclaimer: all of the above is off the top of my head.) Magic bow: Stacked Enhance Aim and Hawkeye Quickened Focus. Fireball Arrow. Potentially devastating combination |

Very expensive solution, and an anchored Mana-/Stunball would work better. Why do that, when there is SnS ammunition for small spirits and Gauss rifles for the big boys?
Moreover, no sane magician would sell such arrows since they carry his signature and the LEOs would come knocking on his door, if such an arrow was used in a crime. |

Touch-Spells are TOUCH RANGE.
Distance Strike allows you to DEAL DAMAGE over Distance, but NOT touch. If you want something like that pucker up and get a Cyber-Arm with Grapple-Hand . . |

SR4183, touch range: "must succeed in unarmed attack, to touch an unwilling target" SM176, Distance Strike: "Though the attack is rolled as a normal unarmed attack (ignoring Reach modifiers), the defender resists the attack as if it were a ranged attack" which makes more research necessary if there is a disagreement |

The power baldly states that it allows the adept to "transmit" a normal unarmed attack. Period. It doesn't even let you use freaking elemental strike in conjunction with it. So spells? Hell no.
