Prehensile muscles [Minor] by Iczer

‘AHHH...He’s cot me in a gut hold!’

The character’s muscles are much more flexible and mobile than in a regular person, allowing him to undulate and flex his mass in new and unusual ways.
The character gains +4 PS +2 PE and +20SDC as well as an AR of 8.
In addition, the character can bring his full strength to bear on any bonds he may have (including grapplers). He can reliably inflict 2D4 damage (plus any PS damage bonus) to any held item, or item touching him, simply by folding his muscle over it and squeezing/pinching. If struck in melee combat, he may expend an action attempting to grab the attacking limb or weapon. Damage is inflicted as normal, but if the character makes a strike roll that exceeds his opponent’s strike roll, then his weapon, or his limb, is held fast (as if in a hold or lock) opponent’s may pull free or escape as normal, but the character can simply inflict his crushing damage on every action while keeping his hands free.
