Since reading the Cannon Companion rules for improvised weapons I have considered creating a Troll that specializes in grabbing people by the ankles and hitting other people with them, just for laughs.
However, an interesting situation came to mind. Say I have an Astrally Percieving Troll adept with Unarmed/metahuman body 4/10. This Troll is being attacked in Astral Combat by a spirit and, out of instinct, grabs the nearest Ghoul by the ankles. Metahuman do Bod+2 M stun damage when wielded as a weapon in physical space but what kind of damage does a metahuman astral form do? |
