I had a CoH dream last night where a stalker was using a power to draw me towards them against my will. I wasn't held but I couldn't target the stalker so I could only use AoE's to try to knock the stalker out of hide.
I think a power that pulls a NPC or player towards them either held or just immobilised would be cool. It would make PvP very interesting too :D

I like that.
I also made a proposed powerset called Chain Melee [url=http://cityoftitans.com/forum/chain-melee-powerset]here[/url]
I think one of the powers that would do that was called Whiplash. ;)
Powers are supposed to be divorced from damage types and special effects. So if it's included it could be Repositioning Melee.
So the effect could be a chain, a teleportation, telekentic taunt, or what have you.

To be more precise the aesthetics of a power is divorced from the mechanics. One could interpret "special effect" as meaning the secondary effect, which is part of the mechanics. And the damage type is just another part of the mechanics.
Pretty sure they would limit it to a simple "enemy pull" power though.
