Grabbing With Extra Limbs

[Steve Long]

I don’t think that’s ever been addressed, surprisingly. Here’s how that would work:

 

1. For each additional two manipulable limbs a character uses to Grab a target, increase the STR of the Grab by +5. (In some cases the GM might also extend this to certain non-manipulable limbs, such as an ordinary person using both his arms and his legs to restrain someone.) For each additional one manipulable limb, add +3 STR.

 

2. When a character with more than two manipulable limbs declares that he’s attempting a Grab, he may declare how many limbs he’s using. Using more than two doesn’t increase the time required to Grab or change the CV modifiers for the Maneuver. If a character has already established a Grab on a target and wants to apply additional limbs to strengthen the Grab, this requires a Half Phase Action but not an additional Attack Roll (unless the GM rules otherwise).
