Support Issue: Combat
The Issue: Just something I became curious about, what would happen if somebody was affected by a knockback effect while being somehow rendered incapable of being moved (voluntarily or not), such as during a grapple or when tied down by rooting ninjutsu, binding taijutsu, or sticky substances like tanglefoot bags?
Would nothing happen? Would they take damage, even if the thing causing the knockback did not inflict damage normally? Would they be forcibly moved? If forcibly moved, would this be a default condition, or would mechanical comparisons be made, such as Grapple Break Checks?
It probably sounds like a wierd line of inquiry, but it cant be infinitesimally unlikely with the number of things that can inflict each that they might eventually end up interacting.
