[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 6054190, member: 12037"] Sorry for the delay, I was travelling for Thanksgiving. Yeah, I was expecting more really. Yep! To quote the book: "Sometimesthere’s confusion about when to use Athletics and when to use Might. As a rule of thumb, Athletics is used to move yourself, while Might is used to move other things and people." So, if you're going to try and grab them, push them, or in some way hold them back from being able to change zones, that would be a Might Block.
