Question about actual play experience with one of Pee Kitty's enhancements
Specifically, the Retractable enhancement for the Binding advantage? (Found here.)
If you have used it, did you find it reasonably costed at +100%? Was that too high? Too low? |

It was about right. I've used it for a long time. I even snuck it into Pyramid (it's used by the Mimic).

Greater of binding ST and personal ST seems like odd design; normally you'd think the weakest link is what matters, not the strongest.

My real concern is that at +100%, it's a bit pricey. I'm not sure that the ability to pull someone towards you after you've wrapped them up is really worth twice as much as just the ability to wrap them up. I've already talked to PK about this, and he's feeling the same way (it was him who pointed it out, in fact!), so I'm just trying to get some more general feedback on whether people feel it really is worth that much as an enhancement. At least some types of Binding make sense to use the higher ST, I think. For example, if you're shooting mobile vines, the vines could "root" themselves, and pull the target towards you more or less under their own power. Using the lower ST is probably a smaller enhancement, though. |

Heck the price may be a little low, but the utility of the Retractable enhancement is vast.

Re: Question about actual play experience with one of Pee Kitty's enhancements
A Kromm quote from somewhere with a little bit of playtesting. From my house rules file:

Re: Question about actual play experience with one of Pee Kitty's enhancements
That Krommquote is an extrapolation (of Kromms) based on the rules in Powers about kaijuu forcing their way through DR + Force Field barriers. Not completely out of the ether, although a little obscure.
It still weighs the game in favor of the Binding, overall - but without making it an Immovable Object problem. That means the player who's bought their Binding can still feel pretty good about it - because of the way Thrust damage scales, the victim has to pretty seriously exceed the Binding's ST in order to shrug it off, and the ratio always is favorable of the Binding. The only people who will notice are those who were betting on spending 2 points to stop Godzilla in his tracks.
