Custom Discipline

Requirements: Flight 3, Athletics 3

Mechanics: The Gargoyle must already be midair to use this Flight maneuver.  If so, they may, as with most other Flight powers, take the round to use Antoine Dodson.  In doing so, they must make a Physical Challenge, bidding an additional trait against the target, retested with Brawl.  If the target is not surprised, they may attempt to use Alacrity to preemptively avoid the attack per the rules of Swoop.  If successful, the gargoyle grabs the target and pulls them into the air at full Flight velocity, and then drops them from the sky.  The falling target suffers bashing damage equal to the Gargoyle's level of Flight (no additional modifiers may apply) when they hit the ground, landing prone, if the target does not succeed with an Athletics challenge, bidding and additional trait in the challenge. If the target fails this challenge, they may still act, but will need to bid an additional trait for any action other than righting themselves.  If the target lands on something that would cause additional environmental damage (such as being dropped into a vat of acid), this damage is taken as normal and is considered a separate source of damage.  The Gargoyle cannot perform this maneuver against more than a single target at a time.  If the target has an effect that mitigates falling damage in some way (such as the ability to fly or a parachute), this maneuver’s damage may be reduced or negated.
