It's more about the precision, but yes. Gross vs fine motor skills, or Force Manipulation in this case. We're not really worried about the difficulty or speed of your attack though- the pyro is fine. It's the timing of when you're able to attack at all that's in question.
Yeah, I know, but I kind of want to give you guys small room, so I'll stick to that, gonna do the edits now

@Loco can you stop attacking me it's making it very difficult to kill you

Edit: the gif is a completely overused meme at this point however I'm going to say that this attack & the strength implied on a confined area is definitely an AOE attack which IMO would hit all four of us like a torpedo exploding.

A meme it is, but everyone should get in at least one good Force Kamahameha before the TL ends.

That said, yeah, there could conceivably be some blowback from that power, but there's a lot less debris to turn into far flung shrapnel in this setting. The door behind you wouldn't explode like the rock in the gif, which is where most of the spectacular looking destruction comes from. We just all have to deal with the pulverized shelving and such filling the corridor.

@Loco granted yes but the power required to pulverize rock is still exploding within distance to hit you and Leto hard (imo) let alone debris which would come afterward. The distance the rock is thrown in the gif explores just how powerful the blast is, with the shape of the room you both will get hit practically as hard as the Sith do I would imagine.

What you're saying is equivalent to firing a shotgun and expecting it to kill the person holding the shotgun and the guy standing next to him. It's aimed forwards, why would it affect people behind it??

Aw, I was kinda hoping for the catastrophic rpg explosion, ngl.

The problem now though is that not only does your post contradict mine, space and time wise, it also contradicts itself. I wrote that I stepped out and fired the next shot as you were raising the shelving for defense, not after you dropped it. A one-two punch that would basically land right after my previous one, while you'restill stumbling back. Also, in your post you mention seeing me because you dropped the shelving (again, contradicting my stated timing) but then you also say that my attack hits the shelving... so, I'm not sure what you're trying to describe.

Additionally, I'm not sure you'd be able to fully defend Kano as well. That's a pretty significant barrier for someone who's been caught in the middle of something else.

Dont really think I need to be defended though, even if you have talked about the side effects of the blast, IC you keep mentioning that it would strike Xornoth, never mentioned that the blast would also hit Kano in any regard

Not directly, no. Kano would only be at risk from the exploding furniture we talked about above, if anything.

@Versok, you only have two bolts to deflect after the autohit pair. I wrote that Leto would twist his hand to fire two shots if the hand crush continued, and if the crush did not continue then fire two shots with better aim. The last line about firing two shots if the initial shots broke Kano's concentration was about the two autohit shots.

Also, I think your timing is a little off. I had Leto start the Force crush the moment he felt Kano's grip on his hand, and the shots would land little after that, not before. So the crush starts, and while it is going on the bolts land. So you'd have to defend against both at once. Also, as the crush already began while line of sight was still available, breaking line of sight will not prevent the attack from still being sustained. It's only while initiating the attack that line of sight would be required.

I certainly don't remember that part about being able to keep the attack after losing line of sight, can you pass me the link to to the thread that was related with the whole line of sight thing? Ny memory of it is kind of hazy @Wit

Sorry, not sure if there is a thread where it was previously mentioned but I just asked around.

In my previous post, I described the shelving obstruction as being of similar size to Xornoth and it was held in front of him with the force and immediately discarded / dropped upon the conclusion of your previous attack. As your post locked this in, the shelving unit would have fallen to the ground once the attack was finished while Xornoth was still concentrated on Fennex and thus able to see over the unit to watch him ready up round two. This is why your attack hits the unit as it is still in front of Xornoth but not obstructing his view.

As the last round went so close to the deadline, and as it looks like your interpretation of the timing is very off from ours, a report has been filed to expedite and resolve the issue. @Xorism @Versok @Loco
