Does the timeframe presented in the Reaction Page refers to physically reacting to something, or just being able to perceive an image in a general timeframe? Because the human eye can perceive Images at 13ms, so, what should I use for actual FTE characters? If they literally speedblitzs someone's visual interpretation.
Quoting OSB:
"In an experiment, under good circumstances, air force pilots were able to identify an aircraft flashed on the screen for a 220th of a second, but only in a darkened room in which the after-image lingered on the eye. There is a similar phenomena that occurs with sound, and is known as summing localization, in which two sounds are separated by so little time as to appear as the sum of their parts (1 to 5 milliseconds), so it's highly likely that this represents the same range of limitation of the brain. However, it is wise to use the minimum in any calculations rather than the peak."
So, for Faster than the Eye feats, should I really use 0.08s (80ms) for the timeframe?
