Well, shit. Maybe that's what I meant to say the first time. Or not. They're both Half Minds, so the only real difference is fudging their behaviour.

That being said, making them a Submissive creature might work better for a capture-the-slave scenario where the captive is equally unwilling to be on either team. That way, they can be treated more like an objective than an actual minifig.

See, I think that's hilarious - I like the idea of telling a prisoner to get out there and fight or else the resident sniper is gonna do some long-distance brain surgery.

I only want to shy away from the 2" option because that's another static variable you'll have to memorize while using the handcuffs. I'd rather go with players saying "well I think my guys are probably close enough to have control" and doing a WISG roll. 2" is also pretty close - having more than 3 guys within range of a hostage means that a lot more attention is going to be focused on what they're doing, not the captive. At that point it won't really matter who "controls" him. I suppose that having more than one faction within 2" would just confuse the fig and they wouldn't know who to trust yet.

So any options to escape the cuffs? I suppose an ally could try to damage them...
LEGO are like boobs - designed for kids, but adults have plenty of fun playing with them too. ;)

I'm personally a fan of the old "chew off your hand" play, but if you had a character with gymnastics/super spy/etc, maybe you could use a feat to escape or pick the lock.
