In grapples, a ST 200 fighter uses his full ST 200 for all active purposes, regardless of his weight. He can use it for all passive purposes, too, if his ST comes from strange powers or if he's using his own movement abilities, which come with his full ST automatically.

Surely having ST 200 that allows someone to prevent someone from flying (ie, TK, chi, or whatever) would have an attendant enhancement or limitation involved. Because
nullifying a particular power by touch, with no resistance roll allowed, is otherwise a
very powerful ability.

In short, if someone has ST 200 and weighs one ton: Any Active Use of ST: ST 200
Any Use of ST Justified by Movement Abilities: ST 200
Any Passive Use of ST Justified by Weird Powers: ST 200
Any Passive Use of ST Representing Mass Alone: ST 25 |
wait ... are you saying that a 1-ton character
can be lifted, flipped and body-slammed by a flier with sufficient ST to do so, even if they are grappling someone?
Resisting such being a Passive Use of ST Representing Mass Alone?
