Thrown - Brace, Pull 10- Unlimited

Tags: Corded

Station Zero

50 CEU

Prerequisites:

  • AR02001 Thrown Weapon

Unlimited Use

Description

This rig comes in two parts: the weapon and the reel. The weapon is covered in thousands of incredibly strong, microscopic threads that bind to whatever they touch, much like spider web. When the person impacts a target, the threads are embedded in the impact area, unfurl and attach over the entire surface.

Once attached to the target, the reel spins and pulls the target towards the attacker.

Mechanics

Thrown Pull 10.

You must be Braced (both feet firmly set on the ground in a wide stance), anchored to the ground or supported by other characters until your Weight is higher than (not equal to) your target’s Weight before attacking.

You may choose to lower the distance the target is Pulled (this is useful to prevent them from colliding with you).

If you target an object that has more Weight than the Brace total, you are Pulled towards the target instead.

Prop 

Any thrown weapon.

Must meet the weapon safety standards listed in the Rulebook.

Safety

Follow ALL Weapon Safety Training guidelines.

Errata

You only have to be Braced for the initial attack, and can move out of the way if a Pulled target is on a commission course with you.

Because you can only carry a single Bank Thread Grapple per Slot, you must retrieve it before you can use it again.

Test

  • How far does a target have to move towards you?

  • What Weight is a normal person?

  • Do you have to use the full 10 step value? 

  • If the target runs into you as part of their Pull movement, what happens?

  • How many times can you throw a Nano Thread Grapple?

  • Demonstrate the use of a Nano Thread Grapple.
