Ninja-Bear Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hello All, Here's another how would you write up question. for the coil'ed 'em ability is the ability for the elastic guy to wrap is body around an opponent and still be able to attack said opponent with hands or feet. Version 1: Extra limb (5pts) only to grab (-1/2) Real 3 pts Version 2: Clinging (10 pts) Real 10 pts - I beleive that you can stick yourself to another and still be able to attack said opponent. Thanks for your help as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper-Man Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 If I really wanted to define this ability separately, I'd go with the Extra Limb approach as it's already possible to Grab a character with just 1 Limb with a STR penalty. The Extra Limb is just the effect of the stretchy character using their torso and portions of other limbs to immobilize a target. I could maybe see adding this with XP to my version of Mr. Fantastic but he already has a Limited STR slot in his VPP for holding on to targets. http://www.herocentral.net/get/files/premium/Dr.+Reed+Richards+6e+400.HTML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hyper-man that special effect is what I was thinking too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbywolfe Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Clinging could stick you to a character and maybe even help you hold them but it wouldn't Grab them by itself. You would still have to Grab them or you would just be sticking to them, not restraining them. There's also the Entangle with damage feedback option.

Ninja-Bear Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Bigbywolf- I understood feedback to mean that the character that does the entangle takes damage from the breaking out character though I could probably link a eb no range indirect to represent a punch. Thanks for the input. It seems that extra limb is the best fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbywolfe Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 That is what Feedback means. I was just pointing out that Entangle built with Feedback is often used to represent stretchy characters wrapping up an opponent, and your arms are still free.

Ninja-Bear Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Ok bigbywolf I was confused. But feedback still lets you use your hands? Is that 6th ed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Oh forget my last post Bigbywolf. I got what you're saying now! Duh - failed my intelligence roll. I assumed that the entangle would automatically exclude my arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
