Bounce-Back Smack Attack

Bounce-Back Smack Attack(Minor) by Taalismn

“I’m down....but I’m back up again!”

This power allows the superbeing, when attacked in melee combat and struck, to automatically bounce back, much like a bozo-punching bag, and deliver a blow in return to the attacker, without using up any of his normal number of attacks. Example: Sockerbocker gets punched out by Shadowfist and falls back, but then recoils and snaps back up into Shadowfist’s face, delivering a headbutt into the ninja’s teeth. Sockerbocker can then use his regular number of attacks to proceed pummeling the stunned ninja in the gut and groin. Every time Shadowfist punches or kicks his opponent in return, Sockerbocker gets to deliver yet another extra attack to punch up the ninja.
This power is limited to punches, headbutts, and other upper body strikes on the part of the superbeing. Ranged powers CANNOT be used.

Range: Melee

Duration: Takes 1 APM to keep this power up for 1 melee

Effects: Automatic retaliatory melee attack. Does NOT work against magic, psionics, or ranged attacks(if Shadowfist in the example were able to back up and start throwing darts, his opponent would be in trouble). The automatic attack has NO to Strike bonuses. It does NOT work if the superbeing is knocked unconscious.

Other Bonuses:

• Does NOT lose initiative from knock-down/knockback attacks, including concussion strikes.
• +3 to Maintain Balance
