Some Jaegers are physically stronger than others. Through the conditioning of their body through Vigour, they are able to conduct physical feats that others cannot.
All Jaeger have a default weight of 1. This means that any Jaeger can generally grapple another in times of need, like if their comrade has been downed and is on their Bleed Out time. Or, a Jaeger at odds with another can grapple them as a means of restraining them.
When grappling another, the player must declare their ranks of Vigour so that they can identify whether they can grapple the other or not. The Jaeger with the highest score ‘wins’ the grapple.
When grappling a Jaeger, place one hand on their arm or shoulder. If no contact, hover that hand instead. The controlling Jaeger will then steer the other where needed, but must not physically drag them.
For each rank of Vigour, gain +1 Weight.
This means that a Jaeger with 4 ranks of Vigour has a weight of 5. A Jaeger with no Vigour would require 4 others with no Vigour to grapple them, however two Jaeger with 3 and 2 Vigour can grapple them easily.
Wearing armour does not modify a Jaeger’s weight.
