Since both Moonlight and Nightbird have Uncanny Dodge, neither will be Vulnerable.

Moonlight needs an illumination effect to counter the darkness. A damage effect isn't strong enough.

You can only stunt Rank 12.

Also, Light isn't one of the 4 elements.

Power stunts, according to the rules, can exceed PL or the rank of the power it is stunted from. Unless you have a house rule where they can't exceed PL that I'm forgetting. Environment is one of the powers not capped by PL. And her power descriptors say Nature, not just the 4 elements, and Fire generates light which is what she is described as using to generate the light.

Where in the book do you see this? I am not seeing it under Power Stunts.

Dang, either it was something Steve Kenson said on the old forums and is lost to time now or I'm misremembering that part of how Power Stunts works. Sorry about that, looking through all the books the Basic Heroes Handbook spelled it out clearly that the rank remains the same and you can just add extras and/or cons to keep the same cost and such when Power Stunting.

I know several GMs allowed something like this in 2e, so it may have been there. PL gets tricky. A power could be PL-capped and not PL-capped.

Technically speaking, there is no reason to cap Environment. Until you make a power check with it.

I spoke with Ysariel, and we will let the power stunt stand, limited to PL.

I will resolve this and the Shadow Clan's actions later. Might not be until Monday.

Michelle and Gelert can sense the movements of the five shadowy figures. They all move to a one of the team members, with the fifth moving to double-team Michelle. Gelert can hear weapons slicing through the air while Michelle sees "kris-style sword form in their hands as the five opponents attack their respective targets.
Shadow Clan #1 Shadow Blade vs Gelert: 1d20+12+2 16
Shadow Clan #2 Shadow Blade vs Nightbird: 1d20+12+2 29
Shadow Clan #3 Shadow Blade vs Moonlight: 1d20+12+2 33 Critical
Shadow Clan #4 & 5 Shadow Blade vs Amethyst: 2#1d20+12+2 18 30
DC23 FORT save vs Damage for any hits; Critical makes it DC28 FORT save vs Damage to Moonlight

Amethyst is up

Does Nightbird's readied attack hit the Shadow Clan member?

Nightbird didn't encounter anybody in her move, so she made two Move actions according to your post. That means there isn't an action left to attack anyone.

I wonder if Nightbird would have justification to stunt sonar. It sounds like the kind of thing someone with super-singing would come up with in the moment.

Thanks that makes sense.

Good idea, I like it.

Sonar is a common stunt used by sound controllers.

Also, because it's FORT save, the shadow blades do no actual cutting or slashing of physical materials.
