-Captor is a class with a rather unusual flexibility of application: it can be used for either moral purposes (defeating enemies without killing them like Batman et al) or highly immoral ones (capturing people and forcing them into slavery) or even value-neutral utility (locking down doors/people). As with anything that gets added to your game, make sure everybody at the table is cool with whatever you end up doing with it.

Unconscious creatures don't lose any Vitality from the blow that finished them and become totally helpless and oblivious for a few hours instead. |

If the result is 1-3, then doing so costs 1 Supply or Component Pack use. You cannot inflict the Stuck condition if you have no Supply/Component Pack uses remaining. If inflicting the Stuck condition has a failure chance for targeting a creature of a different size category than yourself, roll just one trigger die for both failure and Supply consumption. |

Wrapped up targets cannot move from their current location under their own power (including via free actions) until they or an adjacent ally uses an action to remove the wrapping. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Size Failure:** This move suffers failure chances from having a differently-sized target (3 per category of difference). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** When you wrap up a target, roll a trigger die.

This requires an action and a trigger die result of 7+; if the trigger die is 1-6, the action did nothing and the target is still stuck. |

Somebody who swipes your keys (or who has the Lockpicks ability from the Thief class) could totally let your captives loose, though, as could anybody with the right tools and enough time to untie/saw/blowtorch their way through. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slippery Devils:** A creature that has the Escape Artist ability from the Elusive class can escape bonds anytime they want, even bonds created by you.  They're impossible to tie up. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supply-Driven:** When you completely tie up a creature, roll a trigger die. If the result is 1-6, then doing so costs 1 Supply or Component Pack use. You cannot tie anyone up if you have no Supply/Component Pack uses remaining. |
