Stretching questions

[sacolcor]

1) If a character that has Stretching with the "Does Not Cross Intervening Space" adder executes a "Grab and Drag To Yourself" maneuver on an object, does this allow the character to retrieve the object regardless of any intervening barriers? What if the object is another character?

2) Can a character with Stretching and a ranged attack effectively treat the ranged attack as Indirect (within the stretching range), by stretching the emitting body part/focus to the desired location before firing?

1. Based on special effects, it’s possible that it might — but I find the whole idea a little questionable, as I suspect many GMs would. The Does Not Cross Intervening Space Advantage is only a +1/4, after all, and allowing it to work as a crude form of Teleportation Usable As Attack doesn’t seem quite right. At the very least, I’d say you should get the GM’s permission to do something like this.

2. Yes, unless the GM forbids this for some reason.
