Take Root same as now, but when "rooted" MA is reduced to 1... after failing the d6 roll, of course.

It can be their lack of attention to mundane matters rather than stupidity of course. :wink:

Yeah, that's a good idea as well. I like fluffy negatraits specific to certain players personally... but your solution is probably the best :)

The -2 GFI isn't a bad idea, but it's not enough. I think either -2 or 4+ is ok, as when you're a treeman and sink every step two feet into the ground, you're not worried about icy ground. Maybe instead (and to bolster it) it should be either 4+ (or -2; that's cool) with only one GFI attempt. That actually requires no extra rules if it's packaged into the MA2 rather than handled as an anti-Skill, as then it lets you take out the roll to stand up by just saying it's a GFI to stand (at -2 or 4+), and since you get only one GFI, that's all you do.

Or Bonehead. But Bonehead isn't bad enough. Add in an "MA2 players get -2 to GFI" rule (obviating the roll-to-stand rule, but with a 4+ to GFI or Blitz once after standing), and Bonehead starts looking really attractive.
