Giant In the Playground Games

I like the way he fights.

How long will it be before the Order realizes this isn't Thog? Thog is the dumbest of muscle, while Tarquin is far more clever.

Been liking the development of this arc so far. V's mini-genocide has yet another unforseen consequence.

So has any fairly tactical RPG (D&D, GURPS, RIFTS, Hero, Rolemaster, friends) ever provided a way to do that stunt where he grabs the arrow and stabs Belkar with it? It seems that comics and movies show us so many cool stunts that don't end up going into our games, because they're too much trouble to work out, or the DM will just make it a less effective move then the standard move, or because if the DM doesn't, players will try and pull it out at every moment.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Pretty sure HERO could do it.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Wasn't it a feat?

Arrow stab: Snatch Feat + AoO attack with arrow? /shrug

You can pretty much do this in 4th edition D&D although I'm not sure if there's a power with exactly the same flavor text.

He fights like a 4th edition character in a 3rd edition world! (Lots of pushes, slides, interrupts, etc.)

Dont you need int 13 to get combat expertise and improved trip, im sure someone will think that unlikely for Thog.

Especially since Thog's fighting style has been to Rage and hit hard and a lot, nothing fancy or elaborate like tripping, grappling, arrow snatching, ect.
