This exact situation still puzzles me to a certain degree, as how to deal with Cassandra being an intermediary in Maxi's pull on the zombie.
Should there be some extra encumberance penalty for Maxi?
Or is it assumed that Cassandra help him just enough that her being in the middle is not a problem?
Should I have allowed 'true teamwork' and let Maxi perform the pull with the com,bined strength of the two? I won't add their ST, nor have them both roll the contest and add the MoS.
But maybe add their combined Basic Lift (based on Trained ST) and calculate back to an effective ST?
