Going strictly by the rules, I don't think that the mind control resource would work any differently under these circumstances, but bending the rules like this should lead to a much more entertaining encounter overall, so I certainly don't have any complaints. ^^<br/><br/>From what I'm reading, you're basically saying that the complication wasn't made at all, though, right?  Is that why you didn't roll for the monster reaching out with its tentacles to grab at Ace?  I certainly wouldn't mind getting an extra action this round to make up for my last one being declared null and void, I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything. ^^;
