i know what the pac says about exploit weakness but my question is do i still get to roll for impervious so the attack doesnt even hit. yeh i know if they hit theres no -2 to the damage

No. It's basicly a close combat version of Psychic Blast. You don't get to roll on PB either.

Impervious does NOT avoid the attack.

The roll is to see if the damage from the attack is reduced by 2, or to 0. It does not make the attack miss.

actually the pac says that the attack can miss completely

IMPERVIOUS This character reduces damage delivered to him or her.
(Optional) When this character is the target of a successful attack (either
close or ranged combat), roll 1 six-sided die. On a roll of 5 or 6, the attack
misses completely and the character takes no damage. On a roll of 1 to 4,
the attack hits, but reduce the damage by 2.

Oooof, thats one they boned. Rules lawyers are going to want to jump on this one now. What a shame.

in the faq and the indy rules they changed impervious to reduce damage to 0 if rolled a 5 or 6, not missing attacks.

So ignore the faq, since the indy rules are official now.

I think you may be working with the old DC PAC which does say the attack misses on a 5 or 6.

I believe the wording was changed with the Indy PAC to say that on a roll of 1-4 the damage is reduced by 2 and on a roll of 5 or 6 the attack does no damage.

And they reworded it specifically to avoid situations like this and to differentiate Impervious from Super Senses.

thats cool i thought i was reading the current faq when this came up so my appoligies

Message retracted. Herofan spotted error.

do you still role super senses? I thought no becasue explotie weakness negates any defensive ability? yes or no anyone?

Yes, you still roll for Super Senses.

EW states that damage from an attack using that power cannot be reduced. It does not cancel or ignore any powers. Thus, you can still effectively use SS or MM, or any other power that does not reduce damage.

thanks psy I always trust your judgment!
