Then as all mods are here, a follow up question or two.1. Ok, we have the width/length of the battlefield (Earth sized). What about the height - how high does this 'ceiling' extend?
2. Rules only state that if a character is moved against their will,if they can come back in reasonable time, they're fine .... what's reasonable? A 10 count, 10 mins, 20 mins?
3. Last one....what if they're punched there - what's stopping Superman from being punched to the sun (against his will) then sundipping that way to come home (in reasonable time - we saw how fast he was flying last time)?
Last question is just a bit of fun, tbh.
1.) Like I said earlier- I always pictured the default field without any strict borders/ceilings. Basically just a massive void realm where every character's powers are fully operational... But if we're going with an earth-sized field, then I would imagine its 'height ceiling' would be similar to earth's as well.
2.) A 10 count has been used in the past, but that is a bit too easily exploitable, imo. I can't even run from my upstairs bedroom to my downstairs living room in 10 seconds.
3.) If we assume there is a sun over the battlefield, it would be completely inaccessible to Superman for amping purposes, and it also would not hinder characters who are explicitly weak to sunlight(ie. Immortal Hulk, Vampires, etc.) Personally, I don't think there needs to be a sun physically present, but that just goes back to me likening the default field to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber:

ie. There's no actual sunlight in that place, but it's still fully lit. /shrug
You guys do raise some good questions, though. Like Pr said: some of this does need to be better clarified in the rules after a consensus is reached. 👆
So with point 1 - atmospheric? This goes to characters with flight - if Surfer and Hal are zooming around in the atmosphere firing blasts at each other, one can see how easily that 'limit' would be inadvertently breached.
Because if there IS no limit...then you can see why I was originally thinking the Sun isn't self-BFR. As it would be 'upwards' from the plain. Rules never stated an upper ceiling.

Right, but again: that presumes there is a physical sun over the field(as mentioned, there doesn't necessarily *have* to be), and also that the sun would be accessible to the combatants.
These are all valid points, though. 👆
