Flight vs Weight of Others and stuff

[SuperGuy]

Okay, Red Rocket with 30" of Flight x64 NCM is grabbed by Brick House who has 6 levels of denisity increase x64 a normal human. What happens when Red Rocket tries to fly away? Side Note: Red Rocket isn't very strong and Brick House is really strong.

 

1: Does the weight of Brick House compete with the flight, like bracing flight vs flight?

 

2: Is it possible that Brick House could loose his grip with Red Rocket trying to use the "Strength" of his flight vs the Grab?

 

3: Can Red Rocket use his NCM to try and escape? (assuming he could use full NCM instantly)

 

4: Will Brick House simply rip Red Rocket's legs off? (applying damage to Red Rocket as if a move through without moving the target?)

 

Not significant to the questions, but this was all spurred by a very big and nasty NPC who suddenly found himself floating in space due a character with high NCM flight and a character who grappled them both.

Re: Flight vs Weight of Others and stuff

 

1. Apply the Encumbrance rules (5ER 379).

 

2. See 5ER 387 re: using Movement Powers to help break free from a Grab.

 

3. See 5ER 364.

 

4. There's no such provision in the rules -- either RR breaks free, or he remains Grabbed. If you want to run Bill Willingham-style "realistic" combats, you'll have to devise your own rules or wait until we do an Iron Age Champions book at some point.
