Handcuffs

Post by Brownie creeper » Fri Dec 14, 2012 11:41 pm

So... Are handcuffs allowed? And if they are, how do you use them and what do they do?

Opposed skill check, target can only carry one hand worth of items? Loses the ability to sprint?

Costs one action to slap handcuffs around a fig. Cuffed figs are cuffed, and the limitations of such should be pretty obvious.

They're only really useful for objective games ie round up all the slaves, capture the VIP, cops vs criminals, that sort of deal.

Captured minifigs can't use their arms. I don't really see why you wouldn't just kill them though, it's mostly an objective-based gameplay thing.

You could have figs start in handcuffs for like a jailbreak scenario or something.

Also, improvised garrote?

I'd fit minifigs with handcuffs so I could throw them around like a ball and chain.
Brickwars: the only tabletop wargame that allows the units to have sexual intercourse with each other, produce offspring, and then use said offspring as Size 1 Explosives.

So short answer, yes they are allowed and you use them in the most ridiculous, hilarious manner possible.

Put them in a catapult... use them as a human shield...

Attach them to the front of your ships as living, screaming figureheads.
Save for later to be used in traps.
Gladiators.
Use them to pull carriages/war machines, because they're cheaper than horses.
