Muscle
Use this Score for contests of strength—things like tackles, breaking free from grapples and holds, strangulation, and similar brute force situations. Cast Members must tie or beat the Muscle Score with their rolls. Generate Muscle by taking double the Strength of the character and adding plus six. Some creatures may have bonuses for supernatural strength or abilities or extra limbs (‘specially tentacles, flailing intestines, tree limbs, and other weird, creepy stuff, and boy do you hate to see that coming down a dark alley).
