Please Help... Question about Trip Mine and APPs


Cyberknight

Hi,

I have just rolled a Archery/Device Blaster, and I am planning ahead. All seems pretty clear, but I do have on question which I have not been able to find the answer too. Hopefully someone can help.

I am gonna be taking Trip Mine, and also the Force Mastery power Personal Force Field. My Question is this...

If I lay some trip mines, then activate my PFF, will this stop my mines from going off. I have read that PFF is effect self only, and that mines will not explode, unless you are within a certain range of them, so I was wondering whether having PFF up would somehow stop the ability to detonate...

Any Help on this topic would be great..

Many Thanks

No experience with Archery, but I can tell you that PFF shouldn't stop your mines from blowing up.

And this should be in either the Player Questions borad or Blasters board.

Many many thanks for your reply.

Sorry I posted in the wrong part, but to be honest the AT specific forums get so few posts, that sometimes people do not get answers there for several days, and even sometimes never... But thanks again...

afaik, Trip Mine, along with most other things from /Traps (Corruptors/MMs) are Pet Entities, so the same should be true of Blasters.

As a result, PFF shouldn't affect them, as they are now independent of you, so to speak.

An other question, though.. would PFF prevent the placement of said trip mine?
What about Invisibility?

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.

PFF would prevent placing one, yes. Same with Invisibility (the pool power)

Anything which has that self phase clause 'only affecting self' prevents the use of powers whose target is not ones self. This includes the creation of pet entities

The above is to the best of my knowledge. Having an illusion troller skewed my idea of 'invisibility' for a moment
