Brachiator = Super Climbing or Enhanced Move (Air?)?
To speed up Brachiation, do I use Super Climbing or Enhanced Move (Air? Brachiation?)?
Thanks.

Which is what I thought...but wanted some clarification.

Thing is, Brachiators don't just climb, they also swing. I'd do Enhanced Move, myself.

I think I've seen a reference to it as Enhanced Move (Air), in context of limiting Enhanced Move (Air) to fit it better. Might have been in Psionic Powers? I'm really not sure.

Re: Brachiator = Super Climbing or Enhanced Move (Air?)?
From Enhanced Move (Powers, p. 49):
Environmental (p. 110) is allowed, but only if it limits Enhanced Move to a subset of its usual environment. For instance, Enhanced Move (Air) couldn't take Environmental, Air (-5%) – but it could have Environmental, Trees or tall buildings (-20%) in order to benefit Move with Brachiator (p. B41) but not Flight.This would generally also come with the limitation just after that – All-Out, -20% – if all your limbs are tied up with climbing and swinging.

Thanks.
So, to be clear, Super Climbing doesn't help Brachiator?

Re: Brachiator = Super Climbing or Enhanced Move (Air?)?
Correct. Brachiator isn't about climbing, beyond giving you a body pattern that makes that easier (whence the +2 to Climbing skill). Brachiator is about flying through the air like Tarzan or Spider-Man.
