Zaratustra Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 What would be the best way to make the power to block the nerves to a person's hands, making them numb (and hopefully causing them to drop whatever they're holding)?

TheEmerged Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Question: what would be the game effect of making the person's hands numb? Perhaps a Dexterity penalty? If so, you need to build a construct that manages this, such as a Negative Skill Level, Change Environment/Usable As Attack, or perhaps a simple Suppress DEX.

BobGreenwade Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 How about a Drain (or Suppress) STR and DEX, Hands Only (-1)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 How long is the effect supposed to last? If it's only for a brief period, I think I'd do this as a Flash against the Touch Sense Group, Limited to the hands. FREd p. 228 has guidelines for the effect of losing the sense of touch due to a sense-affecting Power which could be applied to this situation. If it's for a longer period, Drain vs. DEX with the same Limitation does sound right. If it's a Constant Power effect which stops when the Power shuts off, probably Suppress DEX, or perhaps Change Environment imposing some DEX penalties.

How about a limited form of ranged disarm manuever with TK? Unless you want the hands to stay numb in which case I'd link with a supress or drain as suggested.

Fireg0lem Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Another interesting idea is Entangle - Set Effect (Hands Only; -1), Transparent to Damage (+1/2), Based on Con (-?), Cannot Be Escaped With Teleportation (+ I forgot). After all, this power is essentially very similar to simply binding someone's hands completely, except that objects are dropped instead of bound in.
