Cyragnome Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 How do you rule? I'm curious, I've done a board search and thumbed through FRED and can't seem to find anything on Damage Shields vs. Entangles...(I'm sure it's probably in an obvious place, but I can't see it under damage shield or entangle)... What got me thinking of this is an Ice Character with an Ice based entangle vs. a Fire based character with a Fiery Damage Shield...as a GM I'd rule the damage shield does damage to the entangle...I mean by the letter of the rules, theoretically, the Damage Shield shouldn't do damage (not a grab, right)...but I would think special effects might count for something here... So is there an official ruling somewhere? How would you guys do it? Ignoring the fire/ice combo, how about someone with a spikey body, an energy field, bone-chilling cold, or other special effect that makes sense (not something like "Counterpunch" though, I would think)?

Insaniac99 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I think this is a Ask Steve TM question, but IMO, yes the fire based damage shield does damage to the ice based entangle. PS: i would rule on a case by case basis, for example, a guy whose DS is defined as spikes jutting out form his body, I can't think of a reason they would work against a Glue based entangle that come in wet and gooey then may or may not solidify.

pinecone Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 I'd say why not...just base it on the FX, of course I use FX a Lot, so thats my preferance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
