Technical grappling question. { Harpoon }
Collective! I come to thee asking a humble question.
does anyone know how harpoon work in technical grappling? It is probably just me, but I didn't see anything about them in the booklet. |

Re: Technical grappling question.
P. 15, Impaling weapons. Harpoons have barbs that do extra damage when the thing is pulled out, so increasing CP to 1.5x basic damage wouldn't be unreasonable.
In TG, yanking on the string to pull it out would basically be you making an attack to reduce CP. I'd allow Harpoon skill (it is a basic function of Harpoons!) and rolling harpoon damage again, rather than a grappling skill and just grappling damage. The victim doesn't have that option however, even if they have Harpoon skill!

What i want to know is how it would effect shields, or the people it's stuck in. Eg, how does it effect the shield? How does it effect the pc? How does one pull them out of formation? Etc. |

Re: Technical grappling question.
Err... it is explained right there on p.15 of TG. Literally, everything you asked except maybe the shields.
You can use the rules on p.15 for shields just fine, remember that you have to beat the shields DR before you get any CP for basic damage. Shield straps are explained on the box on p.13. Grip ST and yanking shields away starts on p.12. Basically, start at p.12 and read through p.15. It is laid out for you.

but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find the rules, or the steps on how to use the harpoon once it's lodged into whom/whatever. Like how to drag people out of formation or drag the shield into the unread state, etc. I don't even know if it works that way. Since you can pull one of them out. |

Re: Technical grappling question.
Okay, basically pulling em out of formation is Shoving People Around, which is on p. 25. Making the shield unready (or even pulling it completely off) is on p.12. Unreadying it is the second paragraph under Grip CP, as is taking it away. The impaling CP can't be spent for that (think of them as the harpoons grip ST on the target), but you can attack through the harpoon to build up CP. Note, your opponent can attack the harpoons grip CP to get it out, so there is definitely a time limit on things!
