Obviously, the grappling rules are necessary to prevent the flier from taking of with the grappler. Without them there would be no constraint. The Basic grappling rules shut you right down based on the ST ratio without any reference to weight. You could stop right there. But GURPS is a toolbox. If the logic of 2000 pounds of cling-on keeping the floater down is unsatisfactory, one can rework that bit to find something that plays better. In that case, it's likely important to consider how the big guy's strength works in more detail. Super-inertia could be part of that.

Re: grappling a flier
Still want to know if the Grapple rules actually do stop a flier from making off with a Grappler.
Word of God, please? |

Physics doesn't so much have a say in it as possibly inform the rules you use.

Re: grappling a flier
I'm quite fond of physics, but physics makes a pretty poor game system.

Re: grappling a flier
OR no, he could treat it as the Full ST 200 if the brick is useing Super Inetia or zero-point TK.
answer was punted back to How did the GM define the ST - weight difference. He gave extensive grounds to support either GM's call based on how they defined the NPC |
