Flagellum
An energy whip that protrudes from the Greater Vajra’s tail. Used to attack or capture enemy mecha-sized units. They cause damage by high friction upon impact, The Flagellum can also be used to grapple enemy mecha – a Vajra player should declare at the start of the round that they will do a grapple attack on the target, with the player indicating which part of the target he wants to grapple. A successful strike roll with a small -2 penalty (difficulty of action) will entangle the target mecha, and will cause an additional 2d8 MD of electrical damage on ALL parts of the target, plus 1d8 SDC to the target’s pilot. The heat whip remains entangled on the target unless the Vajra retracts the weapon or the whip is cut in battle (-2 to strike rolls against entangled flagellums).
