Ferric Summons

Even though Ferric Summons says "unsecured object," I think it's reasonable (and cool) to be able at least try to pull a secured object (e.g., held) that weighs less than you to you. Suggestion:

If the held object weighs less than your maximum weight, make an opposed Willpower to opponent's Strength test. A success means the object has been pulled away from your opponent. If the object is lightly secured (e.g., holster, pocket), make a Willpower test at -10.

Hmm... It sounds problematic to me. Right now you can't really use the power for bodice ripping, or for any other kind of ripping. With your chances, you could do that and much, much more. For example, you could rip someone's implants right out of their body.

I'm not entirely clear on whether you're talking carrying capacity or body weight. But I'd say either is far too much.

If it's to use the power to disarm people, maybe just look at how the Disarm action works and combine it with the normal Ferric Summons weight limitation: Opposed WS test to snag up to 2kg's worth of object per point of WPb. 1-2DoS on WS test makes opponent drop weapon. 3+DoS on WS test makes the object come flying into your hands, mechanical tentacles, or whatever.

I think this would be ok, if the object is only very lightly secured.

So:

> no way to get a weapon out of anothers hands

> but: would be cool to get a grenade activated at the enemies body by pulling the ring...or throw out a magazin from a weapon *hehe*
