Can a character use Hypersonic speed and throw and object?


Ex: Black Adam Starts his movement and picks up an object 3 spaces away. He continues his movement and throws the object at movement 5. Then he continues to run back the 5 spaces that he was originally standing.

Certainly hope so, since I did that this weekend at the marquee.

So did I. But that is why I'm asking because if you can't I'll feel real bad. Not too bad b/c I won the Hal Jordan but bad none the less

no, you can't.

HSS grants a close or ranged combat attack.

Throwing an object is a ranged combat action (per rulebook page 18 I believe)

I would make sense that you can... since you can use S.Strength with HSSpeed in close combat (this we know) but not many people would want to toss the object.

I think it should... but I'm too lazy to see if S.Strength currently calls throwing an item as an action (not attack)

What's the Errata say about it Meatloaf?

I've answered this question 2 or 3 times now. The rulebook states that throwing an object requires a ranged combat action. It's not on the PAC under superstrength - it's in the rulebook.

so NO you cannot.

To the best of my knowledge, the FAQ does not change this.

I just looked through the most recent one - it makes it clear that HSS does NOT grant a close/ranged combat action (or power action) - just a ranged/close attack. As far as I know, the rulebook has not changed throwing objects to anything other than a ranged combat ACTION.

Boy do I feel bad now.

I figured if KC Superman can make a ranged attack with HSS then throwing an object would be the same thing.

It comes down to that attack/action difference.

Well, it probably won me the Hal Jordan this weekend.
I don't feel to bad because my opponent did the same move to me.

Well it happend against me this weekend,

And i call myself a Judge (hanging head in shame)

I have asked Herocomplex for a def. ruling on this on the Judges Forum, hope to et a answer soon......

I did it this weekend also and 2 different judges said that that move is normal and definitly legal. In fact one judge says he uses that move all the time. If you can pick up an object with HSS and hit with it then you should be able to get in range and then throw it and move out of range. What sense is it that you can grab an object continue on and smack with it but can't throw it. Either way you are using it.

It may not make any sense, but it is still an illegal move. From the PAC --
and from the Rules --
You can only make a ranged combat ATTACK when using HSS, and it takes a ranged combat ACTION to throw an object.

I think i've officially crossed over to the point where I'm sick of these friggin rules nuances.

Yeah, this is starting to turn into Magic

So I play Sharahazad again, and...

Send your LEs this way, please...
