is counter a bad or op sembalance?

helo i just joined this RWBY RP site today and creating my oc and would like to hear your thoughts on this thread for my char sembalane

I had semblance reversal for a char and it got banned. Not aloud to affect another persons semblance.

The problem with Countering is that it grants the chance for an auto-hit and it's also hard to but RP wise. Like to be effective, you just call it the next post of the attack and your fine, while generally counters are started before an attack in order to take advantage of it, so RP wise it's are to verify if it's legit or not since it based on whether the character called it first and all...

It's a really tricky one and it's generally not approved... I wanted just that for one of my OC, but it was rejected for the reason above...

Hope it helped...

Here's the thing. You can bounce back attacks using semblance, but it has to be done if you can realistically react to them. For example, if someone shoots a fireball at you and you see it coming, you can activate your semblance and bounce it back, taking damage only if that fireball would have hit you for more than 20 HP. However, if someone has a debuff semblance that is given by touch, you would not be able to bounce that back. Also if someone shoots at you point blank, you would not be able to realisticaly react in time to bounce that back.

thank you for the inputs and your time i'll think of another sembalance for now so until then i'll see you around!
