does clinging affect knockback?

you need a brawn test to pull them off, but it does not mention knockback.

you can't be immune - it would cost 1 pt for immune to knockback by itself

maybe resistant to knockback, or maybe just buy resistant/immune as an additional power?

Have it be a Hindrance on the knock-back roll.

I'm sure if I had the book in front of me that would make sense, but can you spell it out? Or I can look it up tonight.

Yes: what knock-back roll?

the amount of knock-back you take is based on a dice roll. Apply the Hindrance to that roll.

So for instance let's say you took 35 (roll 7 x5 damage) Knock-Back. If you have clinging, I as the Narrator would count that as a Hindrance on how much knock-back you take, as the hit literally *peals* you off the ground. So it would change from 35' to 25' or 20' depending on if the Narrator made it a Minor or Major hindrance.
