COMBAT MANEUVERS<br />
Page 54 — General <strong>Rules</strong><br />
Q: What’s the END cost, if any, for Combat Maneuvers, and is that in addition to the general “1<br />
END” cost discussed on 6E2 131?<br />
A: As stated on 6E2 54 (which references 6E2 131), using a Combat Maneuver typically costs 1<br />
END, plus the END for any STR involved (if the Maneuver uses STR; many of course don’t do<br />
so directly). 6E2 131 simply states a more general rule that, unless the GM rules otherwise, if an<br />
action doesn’t specifically use STR or have some other associated END cost, it costs 1 END.<br />
This isn’t on top of any specified END cost (like the END cost for using a Power); it’s the system<br />
“default END cost” for trivial Actions and Maneuvers that don’t have some other END cost<br />
stated.<br />

Q: Can a character use Penalty Skill levels to counter the cumlative -2 OCV penalty for<br />
performing multiple Blocks, or does that require Combat Skill Levels?<br />
A: The cumlative -2 OCV penalty for performing multiple Blocks cannot be reduced or<br />
eliminated with Penalty Skill Levels; doing that requires Combat Skill Levels.<br />
Page 62 — Grab<br />
Q: How many limbs does the attacker have to use to Grab a target?<br />
A: Ordinarily it’s assumed a character requires two manipulatory limbs to perform a standard<br />
Grab. See 6E2 65 regarding Grabs performed with only one hand.<br />
Q: If a character’s performing a Grab, can he use Foci with the limb(s) that are doing the<br />
Grabbing?<br />
A: Generally speaking, a limb being used to perform a Grab can only Grab; the character can’t<br />
do anything else with it, including using Foci attached to that arm to perform other actions. This<br />
wouldn’t necessarily prevent a character from using a “passive” ability in an arm-based Focus<br />
(such as activating his Force-Field Bracers to protect himself, or a Flight Ring so he can fly away<br />
with the Grabbee), but he certainly can’t make other attacks unless the GM permits this for some<br />
reason. Even if the GM permits it, he may then consider the Grabbee to be Grabbed as if with<br />
one hand (see above) by default.<br />
Q: If the target of a Grab is willing, is already Entangled, or other such circumstances apply,
