a couple questions about the below power and/or Telekinesis in general.

1. Can a figure with Telekinesis use it on themselves? I dont see anything that says you can't so i'm 95% sure you can.

2. "he can use Telekinesis twice as a free action" to me this is worded has 1 free action to use Telekinesis 2 times, is that correct? it could also be ruled has 2 different free actions to use Telekinesis 2 times.

2a. if its 2 different free actions do they have to be used 1 after then other or can you do something inbetween? ie tk fig X, fig X attacks, then tk fig X back where it started.

2b. if it is 1 free action to use Telekinesis 2 times, would Cosmic Boy be allowed to tk himself and then tk someone else? tk says "...A character that has been placed by Telekinesis this turn can’t use Telekinesis this turn. ", but if its 1 action (or 2 actions that must be used 1 after the other), i can see this getting around that rule the same way Colossus( http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468459 not the first thread but it talks about it) can use charge twice and get 2 free action close combat actions.

1. No, a figure can't target itself with TK. This is clarified in the Player's Guide.

2. It is two free actions within one power action.

2a. Both the free actions must be made within the original power action.

1. you can not TK yourself because THE RULE BOOK SAYS SO.

2. Yes, use TK 2x as a free action means use it twice for free. (One power action!)

2a. I do not think you can do anything in between. Think of the TK as a single action with 2 parts. You must resolve the TK before you can do something else... (But I could be wrong here...)

2b. Still can't TK yourself...

1. From the Player's Guide2. CB takes 1 power action and uses TK twice to resolve that action. No other actions can be taken before that action resolves.

A character can target itself. Folks with Perplex or PC would be quite put out if you couldn't.

thanks for the quick replies, so if i'm reading the replies correctly you 2 are in dissagreement on if its 1 or 2 free actions granted?

the difference is important with Science Police Officer has you would be taking either 1 or 2 damage depending on how many free actions it is consindered.

My interpretation of "he can use Telekinesis twice as a free action" hinges on exactly the distinction red king draws. It says "as a free action," seemingly indicating the singular. Grammatically, I'd say it's one free action within which the character uses Telekinesis twice.

I'm with VanisherPunisher on this one, it says "can use telekinesis twice as a free action", which is grammatically the same as "can use telekinesis as a free action twice". Each use of telekinesis is a separate free action within this power action.

Thanks! I corrected my post!

Was there ever a definite answer on the question of one free action with two uses of TK vs. two free actions with one use of TK each?

I was wondering this too.

TK

When I played him it was ruled that it was one action and that I had to be able to draw all lines before placing either target.

I'm also wondering if you have to use tk twice or if you can just use it once. Is it like Chanos's teleport my greatest enemies where there has to be two targets?

Give Cosmic Boy a power action to use TK.

He can use TK normally if you wish, or he may use it twice as a single free action.

Both uses of TK would be part of the same action, so no other actions could occur between the uses of TK.

Each use would be resolved in order, though, so you wouldn't have to draw legal lines of fire for the 2nd use of TK until after you resolved the 1st use of TK.

Why do you think this? Usually a power will say exactly that. He can use it normally or...

I'm a little more likely to buy this, but again what basis do you have for saying this?

Those are my takes on it. For the second question look at Kid Omega from WTX:

He has a stipulation where you would need LoF for all characters and points in order for TK to work, though he ignores the characters chosen for LoF.
