Can a fig with SS/Charge, who is adjacent to an enemy fig, pick up an object and lay the smack down, without rolling for breakway?

No, they can't. To pick up an object a character must make a move action. A character adjacent to an opponent cannot make a move action without a breakaway roll. Charge allows for a free close combat action at the end of a move action.

So, bottom line, you'd have to roll for breakaway, but if you hit it, you could then pick up the item and smack your opponent on the head with it.

But if you fail break away, can you still make the free combat action? (just without the object in this case)

No. If you didn't successfully break away, then you didn't move, so you don't get the free action that would come w/the move since it never happened.

Trust me on this one meadows, Eric knows charge and it's pros and cons. His Hawk has rattled quite a few of my pieces with this maneuver.

I'm beginning to appreciate charge more and more now, especially with Cheetah (Charge + B/C/F). Great ability and lethal when used effectively.

It's Hawk's world; We're all just payin' rent.

Thanks for the clarification.

(That's why I hate to read through this forum. Every time I read a rule or an example that clears things up, I think of another conundrum!)

On the upside, a character with access to the Serpent Society TA can do this without a breakaway roll. Off-hand, I can't think of anyone whose has Charge, Super Strength, and either Serpent Society or one of the wildcards, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Can anybody else think of one?

Actually they cant. The ability takes a Power Action so you cant combine them with other actions!

Hellboy was the only figure that I could find that has super strength, charge and wildcard team ability
