FRICTION CONTROL
Effect: Attack
Action: Standard
Range: Perception
Duration: Instant
Cost: 3 points per rank
Saving Throw: Reflex
Optional: Fatigue
You can affect the friction of an area of (rank × 5) feet in radius. You can either
increase friction, causing anyone touching the ground or floor to become
stuck like a use of Snare (see page 99, except you can only entangle, not bind,
targets) or you can decrease friction, causing everyone in the area to slip like
a use of the Trip power (see page 107). Choose one when you take this power.
You can acquire the other use of Friction Control as an Alternate Power feat.
