OK. So I came up with a great combo for this under used weapon. Grab the mob with the staff. Then Heat Wave with the sustained adaptation to cook him on the spit. Combo is also handy for barbecuing your dinner when your out of wood. Heck. Why not make the mob your dinner? Umm.... Illiirites roasting on an open pit.... Yummy!
But I have one serious question. What is the DC for a mob attempting to break the grab? Codex of Hero's suggests it is the same as a grabble. But A:RPG sets the DC off of a passive Mi Unarmed. Seams to me that at minimum the skill should be based on Melee: Pole Arm. Also does starting a grab with the Mancatcher Staff give access to the Grabbling Maneuvers? Or is it only grab?
I would stick to the rules as is..
for now...
I will TRY and slip this in to the current errata pass
