Hmm.. would that count as a Touch Only attack seeing as you are not making a direct damaging attack, but similar to slapping a tag on someone?

Assuming you are using some kind of heavy duty glue of course... tying it on with a ribbon would be silly. :P

That was my first thought, but then I also figured that you needed to really make it stick - and stick in the right way.  Maybe with a threshold required?  I'm not up to snuff on the new explosives rules, but perhaps ... the effectiveness of the prepared explosive charge is limited to 20P or so per 1 net hit achieved?

Edit

Yeah a threshold would make sense since this is a bit trickier, but not sure how hard it should be.  Will leave that to others to sort out.

Sticking the right way(direction) should not be too bad... making it stick though may be tricky.

I remember the Krakatoa, showing a very portable and light weight shape charge that still did nice damage.

It was on wire legs in the video afterall  so not like it was bolted down or anything and it pretty much blew up on the spot, sending forward a nasty payload.

So figure one were to slap a wider ring around the exit end with some alternating magnets & glue to hold it onto a variable target long enough get clear and set off the charge should be all you need.

Carries about 2lbs+ plastic so round up and call it 1 kilo so a 20 DV is not unreasonable (plastic explosives usually have between 6-25 DV rating times the square root of the kilo weight so x1 multiplier so no change in DV base.   

When explosives are attached directly to a target, the target’s armor is halved; otherwise the explosive has an AP value of –2 so cuts through a lot of stuff nicely.

Not that I don't love the idea,  but,  isn't Control Thoughts one of those Violation of your rights spells that cops aren't allowed to use w/o a judge's warrant or something like that. 

If you kidnapped a KE Lieutenant, you can be certain that the cops that catch you aren't going to go by the book.

Not to mention you're likely going to meet the judge anyways.

KE can make chunky salsa too.
