  • Can Elemental Manipulation and TK take the heavy modifier?

    Can Elemental Manipulation and TK take the heavy modifier? Both can do Strength damage, but damage is not the primary purpose.

    Can I add Heavy just hoping it will roll high enough to damage a Vehicle with 14 heavy armor?

    It would be possible with Elemental Manipulation, but Telekinesis works a bit differently. TK doesn't directly do Str damage, instead it moves objects using that Strength. Thus it can use those objects as a weapon (or move a person and use a wall as a "weapon").

    A GM could rule it differently (or differently based on each setting), but in general, the weapon itself would need to be a Heavy Weapon (such as by casting Smite with the Heavy Modifier on it).

    Hope that helps.
