In a previous thread I asked you:

"... can a character «Haymaker» there breakout roll to get out of Entangle? ..."

You replied:

"With the GM's permission, yes, a character could Haymaker to try to escape an Entangle or Grab. Standard Haymaker rules apply."


original thread (http://herogame.dans.cust.servlets.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4940) for reference.

I started running a game not long ago, and someone applied this, but I aran into a snag. He did twice the remaining BODY of the entangle, which generally means that he can act immediatly, but he did do a haymaker, so I was wondering if he still got that action. I don't think so, but I decided to allow it this time, as it was very dramatic. i just want to know what should generally happen.

Haymakering is enough of a benefit. Since it takes up so much time, if he breaks out, he breaks out, but that’s it; he doesn’t get any additional actions no matter how much he breaks out by.
