The tunnel stretches on for a few more minutes, darkness still ahead. The splatter of green goo grows more abundant as you near a distant flickering light ahead. The flashlights lead to a solitary dirt room, a prison cell, maybe.... You can't really tell given the area's messy floor. Skeletal remains with shackles still on, blood splatter, and loads of green goo. Another mechanized door stands in your way, this time slightly ajar, as if it were forced partially open. Whatever was thrown in here, it was locked in and it found a way out.

The mechanized doors look just like this, but the set you are currently in front of are partially opend, forced from the looks of it, just wide enough to peer into the other room.

Raven looks at the door, "Not sure how but this place feels really familiar...." I walk to the door and attempt to see anything on the other side, using my flashlight if it is too dark.

As you peer into the door, the room on the other side is lit fairly well. Shattered glass litters the floor, as well as the green goo you've been encountering. To the far wall in the back, you two can see some futuristic looking computer monitors, turned on and alive with activity. It's a labratory of some sorts. Not being able to see anything else, you are just about turn around an figure out what to do next when all of a sudden, the same growls from before could be heard again, this time close by. Looking back through the door, three of those creatures come running at you from around a corner, glowing green and with their claws out.

"Damn, I was afraid of that!" Elsa gripes and unleashes a ray of frost.

Raven jumps back as Elsa lets loose a frost ray, He plants his feet and readies himself, hitting anything that comes within arms reach of him.

Melee: 40
Damage: 150
Skill Check: [1d100] = 23

Since we've only been doing ice kills I'm not really sure how melee combat goes so I just put everything I think you'd need out there. :D

This sort of action would take two turns to complete. The first turn would be your ice generation roll, as shown above. You will now need to use your next turn to control the ice (rank value of 30 instead of 20 due to elemental generation/control synergy) and issue an attack, like a ray of frost.

You COULD do all of that in one turn, but as stated in the power explanations thread, you will be limited in its effectiveness.

"Elemental/Energy Generation
The character has the ability to spontaneously generate a single element or type of energy chosen from the the Elemental/Energy Control power list. The character can also control the chosen element or energy as per the Elemental/Energy Control power but that control is at an effective Rank Value equal to one-half the Rank Value of this power.

A character that possesses matching Elemental/ Energy Control and Elemental/Energy Generation gains a permanent +10 Rank Value bonus to both powers."

Your damage value is your hit points, that is not needed unless you get hit by an enemy attack. Your dice roll will serve as your to hit and your melee is the damage that you deal. Because it was a 23, you rolled a low success. In a situation like this, that is all you needed.

I'm not sure this is accurate. Every hero I've ever seen generate energy/element makes a blast attack at will.
Prime example is Iceman (of course).
Further examples:
Firsestar generates radiation beam attacks, while she's flying no less.
Pyro uses a lighter as a fire source yet flips his zippo and attacks in one move.
Dagger (cloak and dagger) generates light missles and throws them in same move.
Gambit charges playing cards with kinetic energy and tosses them in same move.
Magneto can control and object and make it a projectile or shield in one move.
Electro generates and shoots arcs of electricity at same time.
The list goes on and on...
Thoughts?

Normally I would side with you on this, but the 4c system made it clear that only super heroes and villains can do that. Their dividing of the elemental control and generation powers is proof of that. Your lucky if you roll both powers in your character generation, but normally the game expects you to only have one or the other. Now in most of those examples listed above, they probably had the elemental generation power, or something close to it, and were powerful enough to use it as attacks with normal or exceptional damage, just as if they were using elemental control as well, all in one turn. You are unfortunately no such super hero yet. You are a fledgling hero who needs two turns to pull off something that Iceman can do in one.

I'm hoping this makes sense, I don't want to degrade your character any more than I have to and it certainly is not my intent. I am just simply trying to work with the ruleset we are using and making the most sense of it. I will however allow this situation to be remedied over time. Through using fortune points to advance the rank values of your abilities. If you can get both your elemental generation and your elemental control both up to 50, you will be able to use both powers at once like any other super out there.

Elsa generates ice as rolled above and begins to attempt to form it into an attack next round.

Two set of green arms shoot out from the partially open door. With a chorus of growls and grunts, the two green creatures use their strength to slowly open the mechanized doors open, a third one waiting in the back. Raven takes this oppurtunity to Falcon Punch ( Melee: 40 Skill Check: [1d100] = 23) one of the set of arms, causing one of them to go limp. Three arms remain, and the doors are almost wide enough apart now to let one of the creatures through.

The room gets just a bit colder however as Raven looks up and realizes what Elsa has been up to. The stage has been set, actions and rolls everyone.

raven moves back so that he is not inside of Elsa's ice and readies himself for any of the creatures that make it through, if any of them make it within arms reach he will attack.

Melee: 40

Permafrost raises her arms, fully of icy energy, and attempts to encase the mass of arms in ice.

Permafrost Control Ice (20) [1d100+20] = 65+20 = 85 Oops, 95 with the +10 synergy. I'll fix macro.

The arms are held for just a moment, pausing the attempt to open the doors, but then the ice falls apart, the creatures' strength proving too much. You've delayed the door opening for one turn, and there is still some ice left over.

Sorry for the wait, got held up with a few things.

"Looks like they're stronger than you thought, get ready." Raven still keeps his position ready to attack anything that comes near or gets through Elsa's Ice powers.

Not sure if I'm rolling again since I am still standing there prepared but here ya go!
