I've been catching up on the forums, and a couple weeks ago, Soleil Noir asked:
2.)The rules state that, if Player A Grabs Player B, Player A suffers the appropriate OCV and DCV penalties for holding someone, even if Player B is a willing “grabee”. Would the relative size differences of the characters, due to Growth and/or Shrinking powers, make any difference as to the penalty assigned? Taken to an extreme, it’s easy to see that, in real life, carrying around someone who’s the size of a doll (A mouse? An ant?) relative to yourself would be far less encumbering than a person of equal size…
Unfortunately my copy of the UMA is MIA, but I seem to recall that a character can choose to make/maintain a grab with only one hand in exchange for suffering a penalty to their effective STR. As I recall the benefit of doing this was a reduction in DCV penalties (and a free hand)

Am I correct, or is my memory erronious?
