As the title says this will be calcs for 4e light powers, and calcing what it takes to dodge them.
Song of the New Dawn[]
With this spell a bard can call day light to harm their target though seeing that the power does not do half damage on meaning is the attack fails it would mean you fully dodge it.
since you do not shift significantly in squares you do dodge, we assume 2.5 foot for partial movement. but to fully dodge it you will need to move 5 feet.
and in 4e there is an ability called guardian's counter that let's you move 10 feet to intercept an attack sent toward an ally.
and great cat's dodge let's you move 15 feet to dodge an attack.
so to calc the speed of the beam that is fired by the sun
149,597,870,700 / 6 = 24,932,978,450 m/s or 83.167x lightspeed FTL+
now to calc speed of those that can
I will be using the 2574.95 meters that DMUA recommended
as they can move 2.5 feet, 5 feet, and 10 feet in the time it to hit.
normal: (0.762*24,932,978,450)/2574.95= 7,378,368.34m/s | 0.024c Sub-Relativistic
evasion: (1.524*24,932,978,450)/2574.95= 14,756,736.6m/s | 0.049c Sub-Relativistic
guardian's counter: (3.048*24,932,978,450)/2574.95= 29,513,473.39m/s | 0.098c Sub-Relativistic+
great cat's dodge: (4.572*24,932,978,450)/2574.95= 44,270,210.09m/s | 0.14c Relativistic
Dazzling Starlight[]
This is a spell casted by level 13 sorcerers that has the stars fire shafts of light at it's target.
I will use the same method used for the other 4e star beams feats.
while this does not target reflex there are powers in 4e that would let you react for these I will use guardian's counter, Duplicitous Evasion, and great cat's dodge.
Crystal Sphere End[]
Assuming the IRL Sol System as the standard
- The distance from the Sun to Pluto (the outer most celestial body) is 39.5 AU or 5,909,123,884 kilometers
- Doubling that for the sphere we get a radius of 11,818,247,768 kilometers
- (11,818,247,768 * 1,000) / 6 / 299,792,458 = 6570.23853927x FTL
Outside the solar system end[]
- The closest star to us according to NASA is this oneat 40,208,000,000,000 kilometers
- (40,208,000,000,000 * 1,000) / 6 / 299,792,458 = 22,353,241.8995x FTL
Dodging low end[]
Duplicitous Evasion (1.524*19,69,707,961,334.083)/2574.95= 1,165,783,775.65m/s | 3.88c FTL
guardian's counter: (3.048*19,69,707,961,334.083)/2574.95= 2,331,567,551.27m/s| 7.77c FTL
great cat's dodge: (4.572*19,69,707,961,334.083)/2574.95= 450,275,239.96m/s | 11.66 FTL+
Radiant Wings[]
now this spell has the user lifted into the air at the same time as rays of sunlight are simultaneously blast an enemy this has a range of 25 feet. so that will be the distance the rays of sunlight moved.
I will do 2 ends. a low end using max range, and a high end using point blank dodge at arrange of 2.5 feet.
