Followup: AoE Grab to Single Grab

[interwurm]

If what you’re asking is, “Can a character with Area Of Effect as a naked Advantage for STR, who uses that Advantage for his STR to Grab a target (thus making the Grab against DCV 3), stop using the Advantage in later Phases but maintain the Grab and Squeeze or Throw the target at 1/2 the target’s DCV (as usual for a Grab)?â€

That's part of it.

 

Due to the 60 active point limit in our game, I can only use 40 STR on the AoE grab. I want to switch to grabbing a single target so I can use all 60 STR.

 

1. Do I need to make an attack roll to switch?

2. If I fail the attack roll, is the target free of the grab, or is he still in the 40 STR AoE grab?

You need to take that up with the GM. There are no official rules on point or effectiveness ceilings, so if a GM chooses to set any, it's up to him to also address any rules implications that arise.
