Here's a question that came up in a recent heroic game: what happens when multiple NPCs grab a PC (or vice-versa)? I can't find an "official" answer in the books (unless it's in 5er?) so I've been using the following house rule:
Each grabber rolls his full strength (assuming they all make their attack rolls); the grabbee then rolls seperately against each grabber to break free, but subtracts 1d6 from his STR for each additional grabber. (Similar to the DCV penalty for multiple attackers.)
That seems to give a strong grabee a good chance to break free from 2 average grabbers, but not make it a gimmee. Is anyone else doing something similar/different?
