Adapted from Bolt Projection- Superpower Wiki
Lately, I have been exploring various realms of genre fiction and wondering if there was a way to crash them together in a tabletop experience. This means figuring out a way to balance unrelated effects against each other. I love Mutants and Masterminds for its ability do describe almost any character ability you can think of, so I am experimenting with M&M’s tools to work on ways to fold multiple genres together.
Bolt Projection
The ability to project bolts of energy/matter. Sub-power of Attack Powers.
Capabilities
The user can create and project bolts of energy/matter and control the intensity/power of their projectiles. Generally, while these bolts aren't weak, they tend not to be powerful as a stronger or more sustained attack but tend to be far more likely to prevent unwanted damage due to their relatively smaller size and shorter duration. Aside from being precise and accurate, they can also be quicker and easier to launch and thus allow for multiple bolts to be fired either all at once or rapidly in quick succession. While they mostly appear as segmented projectiles, some bolts can appear as brief beams or arcs of energy/matter while others can change in shape or size depending on the user’s control over them. These bolts could be used to incapacitate, repel, burn, or even penetrate/stab their target, as well as potentially inducing other effects.
