Rate of Fire on a Binding Attack?

[makai]

would the ST on a binding attack stack if I increased the rate of fire?

like this:

Binding attack/1 (Rapid Fire:2, +40%) 4 points

would increasing the rate of fire, assuming it hits both times, increase the ST of the binding attack by stacking? Kinda like spiderman shooting out a whole bunch of little webs really fast to wrap someone up?

Good question, all I can say is that my munchkin alarm goes off. I'd have to check the actual numbers to tell though... and it's late right now...

Can someone do a few comparisons?

Would a single roll to break free not just break all the webs binding the victim, meaning one tiny web is only as good as 100 tiny ones?

well, the ST of the binding would go up by 1 for each tiny web, so, if the Rate of fire was higher, and it did stack, you could get the ST of the binding up really high, really fast.

Right. I read it (and don't have my books) as being you need to break out of the highest of the ST of the bindings affecting you to break free of all of them, which would obviously just be ST 1 in this case.

on page 40 it says

"On a hit, your victim is grappled
(see p. 370) and rooted in place. He
cannot select the Move or Change
Posture maneuvers or change facing,
and is at -4 to dx. The ST of this effect
is equal to your Binding level, but you
can layer additional attacks on a
succesfully bound victim. Each extra
layer gives +1 to ST."

but what I'm really wondering is if each hit with rapid fire counts as a layer.

Yes, of course it does. So if you have Binding 20 (Rapid Fire, RoF 10) and you manage to hit someone with 6 strands, they're now splatted with ST 25 webbing.

Aha, that makes it worthwhile then. Now I have ideas for a rapid-fire gloop gun.

and if I had Binding 1 (Rapid Fire, RoF 300) and I hit with 150 of them, would I have an ST 150 binding??? because that seems a little broken.
