Entangle and Damage Over Time

[Susano]

Can the latter be used with the former?

Re: Entangle and Damage Over Time

 

That's up to the GM. The rules on 6E1 328 specifically refer to DoT being applied to powers that "do damage," even in its discussion of looking beyond Blast and KA. Long ago (3rd Edition, IIRC), there was briefly an Advantage like this specifically for Entangle that let an Entangle keep getting stronger the longer it lasted... and again IIRC, it was pretty quickly removed when it became apparent how abusive it could be. But that's why we have GMs, to evaluate these sort of unusual issues.

 

If nothing else this will make a good discussion point in APG2.
