Default Re: Thoughts on building/executing Technical grappling scenerio with Tentacles.

But I don't use vanilla grappling.

I use technical grappling.

And Control points are based on St.


Meaning those St 4 or 5 Tentacles will be the literal weakest grab possible. and therefore super easy to break free.

The bigger picture is the point costs. It costs an Enormous amount of Character Points for 4 extra arms. While I dont think they should be cheap, I do think that they should be reasonably priced.

Without some modifiers to make them cheaper, they are just to expensive for the usefullness of the ability.

Eg. Grapples dont come up very often anyway and the tentacles would still be arms, and therefore unarmed attack. Meaning someone parries with a weapon and they end up just doing straight damage to the tentacles without judo.

10 cp an arm is just overpriced for 90% grapple, 10% utility limbs.




Also, Arm strength cant be bought for more than 3 limbs. Basic set says to just buy up strength instead.
