[BNW] Questions

["Olivier, Jason" <Jason.Olivier@LibertyMutual.com>]

I have some questions that came up from the session this past weekend.

I have a player who plays a Telekinetic.

It states in the book that the powers are invisible and hard to detect the
delta using them.

Question: When he uses martial arts in an all out combat does the character
have to just stand there like nothing is happening while fighting in his
mind or does the character actually have to go through the motions of
throwing a punch in order to have it hit 200 yards away? 

With this type of combat does he get the targets H2H added to his target
number? If it is invisible how would they ever know it was coming to defend
against it?

Now about the adventure 
<SPOILER SPACE>











I put them through the Ripper adventure. I must say the final combat was
horrible. It took so long and seemed tedious.
We have a Telekinetic, Tough and Goliath.

Nobody in the party had AP ammo and they could not touch the Ripper in the
suit. This combat dragged on and on.

The only thing I know I did wrong was doing the AP ammo that the Ripper was
using. 

To even do damage the Goliath had to roll an 11 (with his strength of +5)
just to do a wound which would be absorbed due to the armor
(armor was 10/3 size 6). The Tough and Telekinetic could not even come close
as they had to roll a straight 16 on 5 to 7 d6 (both have the extra damage
trick)

Was I doing something wrong? If combat was meant to be this way, my players
will not play this game again :-( 
I have run many games in the past and I could have fudged things to make
them go quicker but this being our first major combat I wanted to see the
system in action.

Thanks in advance!
