Mancatcher

mAncAtcher Popular among Acolytes who must quickly restrain targets without killing them, the Mancatcher is a pole-arm with a restraining device on the end. Some have simple cable loops that can be restricted around the neck. More elaborate designs exist, including an iron loop with dozens of spikes. The wielder may make a Weapon Skill Test with a -20 penalty against any humanoid opponent struck by the weapon, if he succeeds the target is restrained. If the target wishes to move it must succeed in an opposed Strength Vs. Weapon Skill Test with the wielder to break free of the restraint. If the target fails it may not move, if it succeeds it has broken free and may move as normal. Alternatively the target may make a Contortionist Test, if successful he breaks free of the restraint.
