Grab Maneuvers

Special Note about Grab Maneuvers: These maneuvers have extra rules, defined in the Errata link above, which apply to them. They are not listed here due to length. See that file for more information. It also includes how to handle Breakfall with any maneuver on this page.

Aerial Back Breaker
Requirements: Grab ***, Jump, Back Breaker
Power Points: Special Forces, Chin Na, Dirty Fighting 2, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo 3, Pankration, Jiu Jitsu 4
School System Power Points: Grappler, Dirty Fighting 3, Karate 4
Description: The Aerial Back Breaker is a punishing aerial counter like the Air Throw and Air Suplex but it was developed for use by paramilitary and special forces personnel to counter and eliminate faster, lighter opponents who depend on jumping mobility to avoid suffering damage.
System: Like Air Throw this maneuver must interrupt an opponent during an aerial maneuver. The attacker grabs their target and slams them across their knee or shoulder then lets them fall to the ground. The victim cannot negate this damage with Breakfall and is knocked down in any hex adjacent to where the attacker lands (attacker’s choice).

Air Suplex
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Jump, Suplex
Power Points: Spanish Ninjitsu 1, Kabbaddi 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Hunter 1, Dirty Fighting, Mystical 2, Any 3
Description: The warrior intercepts his opponent in mid-leap by grabbing the opponent and twisting them upside-down so that both attacker and victim fall to the ground headfirst. Of course the victim of the Air Suplex crashes to the ground first absorbing the impact of the fall.

This maneuver was actually developed by Indian Kabbaddi masters who were said to be able to intercept the pounce of a full grown tiger and bring the tiger crashing to the ground.
System: Use the modifiers listed below. The fighter must interrupt an opponent performing an aerial maneuver. If the victim suffers any damage then the Air Suplex was successful and the victim suffers a knockdown. The attacker and victim both end the turn in the same hex where the attack occurred.

Cost: None Speed: -1 Damage: +4 Move: +0

Air Throw
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics *, Jump, Throw
Power Points: Jiu Jitsu 1, Aikido, Jeet Kune Do, Majestic Crow Kung Fu, Native American Wrestling, Ninjitsu, Pankration, Sanbo, Special Forces, Spanish Ninjitsu, Tai Chi Chuan, Wrestling, Wu Shu, Bando, Chin Na 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Karate, Kung Fu 1, Hunter 2, Any 3
Description: Some Native American Wrestlers have been known to jump into the air to catch an aerial opponent, grab the opponent like a hawk snatching a dove, and slam the opponent to the ground. This lethal move is also seen in Sanbo, has been picked up by many Special Forces soldiers, and is even seen in the aerial artistry of Wu Shu.

Some warriors prefer to grab their opponents and fall with them to crush them into the ground. Others grab their opponents and bring them down on top of themselves, while still others prefer the finesse of grabbing opponents out of the air and dashing them to the ground.
System: To execute the move during combat the fighter must interrupt another character's Jump move or must interrupt right after any other opponent has played a special move that also acts as a Jump (like a Vertical Rolling Attack, Dragon Punch, Flying Heel Stomp, etc.). The fighter then must jump to where the intended victim is, enter the same hex as the airborne victim, and execute the throw. If any damage is scored the fighter can pick any spot within three hexes to deposit the victim. In addition to regular damage the victim will suffer a knockdown. After executing the throw the attacker can finish any remaining hexes of movement.

Ankle Smasher
Requirements: Grab ****, Athletics ***, Kick Defense
Power Points: Any 4
School System Power Points: Any 4
Description: Ankle Smasher may only be used on a successful Kick Defense (see below). The fighter catches their attacker’s leg in a free hand, leaps and twists in midair still holding their victim. They flip over their opponent to deliver a downward punch or kick to the victim’s other leg.
System: This is a conjunction technique. The defending fighter will have two speeds for that combat turn. The first is for Kick Defense and the second is for Ankle Smasher. During the round the fighter uses their soak total against kicks using Kick Defense until they choose to use Ankle Smasher (which is when the willpower is paid). At that time the defending fighter’s Ankle Smasher must be faster then the kick they wish to intercept. Against a multiple-hit kick like Lightning Leg the fighter may choose to wait for their interrupt until the second or third kick.

The defending fighter rolls Dexterity + Grab to catch the opponent’s leg who defends using Dexterity + Kick to avoid the grab and deliver their attack. If successful the first interrupts the second, jumps over their head as described above and rolls for damage using their Strength + Punch or Kick technique. This knocks their foe to the ground if any damage is delivered.

After the grab attempt the fighter is considered to still be in Kick Defense if Ankle Smasher was unsuccessful but loses the soak bonus from that technique. Ankle Smasher may not be used in conjunction with a Kick Defense used as an abort maneuver. If the attempt to use this maneuver fails the fighter may not then proceed with another move in a combo off of Ankle Smasher but may continue with a combo that starts with Kick Defense.

Assault Kick
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics **, Kick ****, Head Slam
Power Points: Special Forces, Wu Shu 3, Thai Kickboxing, Western Kickboxing 4
School System Power Points: Military, Wu Shu 3, Kickboxing 4
Description: The fighter begins as with a Head Slam (see that maneuver for more details) but once they are on their opponent’s shoulders they jump into a backflip kicking their foe in the back of the head as they move.
System: The attacker must score two successes on the grab check to get into position. This deals kick damage to the defender who is also knocked down. If successful the two fighters move 1 hex from where they started in opposite directions.

Cost: 1 Willpower Speed: +0 Damage: +3 Move: 1

Back Body Drop
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Grappling Defense (see below)
Power Points: Wrestling, Pankration, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo, Lua, Jiu Jitsu 1, Any 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 1, Any 3
Description: This body drop is usually used as a defensive maneuver in Wrestling against an opponent charging the wrestler. The fighter takes up a position waiting for their opponent to close. When the time is right the fighter crouches, grabs their foe, then stands and lifts them over their head hurtling them to a painful meeting with the ground.
System: If Back Body Drop is used to interrupt an opponent rushing the wrestler the damage dealt by this maneuver increases by 1 per hex the opponent traveled. The defender is thrown a number of hexes behind the wrestler equal to the attacker’s strength and is knocked down.

This ability may be used as a conjunction with Grappling Defense. In that instance the defending fighter will have two speeds for the round and must attempt the body drop against the first rush made on them (which is when the willpower is paid). Both fighters make a contested Dexterity + Grab roll. If the fighter attempting the body drop wins they immediately proceed with their attack. For more information on combos and soak totals with conjunction maneuvers see Ankle Smasher.

School System Power Points: Inner, Hunter, Karate, Kung Fu 1, Any 2
Description: This move is an advanced version of the Throw special move. Instead of using their shoulders or hips to throw an opponent the fighter grabs the opponent and then rolls backward onto the ground - planting a foot on the opponent's chest to heft them up and over. The victim of the Back Roll Throw ends up tossed behind the attacker.
System: The move is quicker than a basic Throw and the opponent can be thrown farther. The victim can be thrown a number of hexes equal to the attacker's Strength + Kick technique.

Bite [hybrid maneuver]
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics *
Power Points: Animal Hybrid 2
School System Power Points: Inhuman 2

Cost: none Speed: -1 Damage: +1 Move: 1
Source: Player’s Guide

Bite Hold [hybrid maneuver]
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Ripping Bite
Power Points: Animal Hybrid 3
School System Power Points: Inhuman 3
Description: This maneuver, which most street fighters consider little more then pure bestial instinct, is common in the animal kingdom. The hybrid grabs ahold of their foe and bites into them. Unlike Ripping Bite the objective isn't to tear the opponent apart but to keep holding and inflict injury through constriction and blood loss. These bites are always excruciatingly painful - as anyone who has been bitten by a snapping turtle can attest.
System: This is a sustained hold with a maximum duration of twice the attacker's Grab technique. The attacker must specify the location of their bite. The head and neck are small targets and are thus difficulty 8 but the resulting penalties accumulate every other round. Otherwise, at the end of every third round the hold is maintained the defender temporarily loses a point of either Dexterity or Stamina - starting with Dexterity and alternating each time. These penalties last until the defender is healed through Regeneration or at a rate of one per day of rest.

Brain Cracker
Requirements: Grab **, Punch *
Power Points: Boxing, Kabbaddi, Native American Wrestling, Pankration, Sanbo, Thai Kickboxing, Western Kickboxing, Wrestling, Bando, Dirty Fighting 1, Any 2
School System Power Points: Boxing, Kickboxing 2, Grappler, Dirty Fighting, Mystical 3
Description: Defeating an opponent isn't enough for some fighters. They want to drive some sense into their opponents' brains. A fighter employing the Brain Cracker grabs their opponent's hair, ear, or nose, pulls the head down, and rains smashing punches into the skull or drives elbows into their face.
System: This is a sustained hold that allows the fighter to punch a held opponent each turn the hold is maintained. The damage for the move is based on the fighter's Punch technique instead of his Grab technique.

Cost: None Speed: +0 Damage: +2 Move: One

Bulldog
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics *, Jump
Power Points: Wrestling, Pankration, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo, Lua, Jiu Jitsu 1, Any 2
School System Power Points: Grappler 2, Any 3
Description: The Bulldog is a classic offensive wrestling move designed to take the wrestler’s opponent to the mat face-first. First the wrestler grabs his opponent behind the neck and jumps forward. As they do they push down on the opponent’s head and shoulders to force them into the ground head first.
System: Both fighters are knocked down. After establishing the grab the wrestler and his foe move up to three hexes forward and end up adjacent to one another.

Bushin Lightning Drop
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Jump, Bushin Flip
Power Points: Wu Shu, Ninjitsu, Spanish Ninjitsu, Kung Fu 3
School System Power Points: Wu Shu, Hunter, Kung Fu 3, Kickboxing 4
Description: A bushin fighter develops the speed and strength to flip into their target, grab them, and, using sheer torque, throw their opponent to the ground.

Butterfly Drum
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Punch **, Butterfly Cartwheel
Power Points: Silat, Savate, Baraqah, Kung Fu, Majestic Crow Kung Fu 3, Ninjitsu, Spanish Ninjitsu 4, Any 5
School System Power Points: Karate, Kung Fu, Kickboxing, Hunter 4, Any 5
Description: This flashy, if effective, maneuver starts with a quick grab and uppercut that throws the opponent off balance. As the foe stumbles back his attacker flips up into a perpendicular Butterfly Cartwheel and smashes into him taking both to the ground.
System: The attacker needs two successes on a grab check to get their opponent into position. The quick Jab (use the fighter’s damage rating for that maneuver) needs not do damage to continue the maneuver – that is primarily what the grab is for – but if it does the defender cannot abort or interrupt to attempt to avoid the second damage portion of this maneuver. Use athletics for damage that cannot be negated by Breakfall as the attacker falls onto their opponent. Both fighters end the round in the same hex and are knocked down – unpreventable.

Choke Throw
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Jump
Power Points: Spanish Ninjitsu 1, Lua, Pankration, Dirty Fighting 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Hunter 1, Grappler, Dirty Fighting 2, Any 3
Description: The fighter leaps up and either catches their opponent in midair or executes their maneuver upon landing. Either way the result is the same. The fighter uses momentum to hurl their opponent to the ground.
System: This can be used to interrupt an opponent performing an aerial maneuver or to attack a standing opponent. Either way this is considered an aerial maneuver itself and is executed by jumping into the target’s hex and attempting to grab them. A single success on a Grab check is needed to establish the hold.

Initial damage is listed below in two parts. The first is for the fall itself and is increased by 1 per two hexes fallen. The second is for constriction as the attacker begins strangling the defender. If the defender takes any damage from either check they suffer a knockdown with both fighters occupying the same hex. Because the attacker holds the defender during the fall negating the first damage test with Breakfall is impossible.

After the first round using the speed and damage for Neck Choke for the sustained hold.

Crescent Lunge
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***
Power Points: Baraqah 2, Judo, Kung Fu, Ler Drit 3, Any 4
School System Power Points: Grappler, Kung Fu, Ler Drit 3, Any 4
Description: The fighter grabs their opponent by the shoulders and kicks off the ground while still holding them into a near handstand. As they drop back the fighter’s legs are held out in front of them to crash into their foe’s lower body with thunderous force. Combined with the pull on their upper body this lifts the opponent off their feet. The attacker then rolls under their opponent as they fly so as not to be squished.
System: This maneuver requires two successes on a Grab check to get into position. Use athletics for damage although Breakfall may negate half of it – this maneuver considers half the damage inflicted to be from the hard fall. Both fighters switch hexes and are knocked down.

Cost: 1 Willpower Speed: -2 Damage: +5 Move: 1

Crucifix Powerbomb
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Powerbomb
Power Points: Wrestling, Lua 4
School System Power Points: Grappler 5
Description: In order to perform the Crucifix Powerbomb the wrestler first gets their opponent into a Crucifix hold. This hold has the victim held on the wrestler’s back, face up, with both arms locked at the shoulders and forced into a cross position. Then the wrestler delivers the Powerbomb by heaving their foe to the ground head and neck first.
System: In order to perform this Powerbomb the wrestler needs three successes on a Grab check to get their opponent into position. After establishing the hold the wrestler may then move up to two hexes in any direction to perform the Powerbomb.

A Crucifix hold is functionally the same as a Fireman’s Carry.

D.D.T.
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Jump, Facelock
Power Points: Wrestling, Pankration, Lua 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 3, Military 4
Description: The D.D.T., which is known by many names and has more variations then the average wrestler has costumes, is built from a basic Facelock. After establishing this lock the wrestler springs back allowing their opponent’s head to impact with the ground as they land.
System: After establishing the lock the wrestler typically falls back into the hex behind them to deliver damage. Both fighters are knocked down in the same hex. This knockdown cannot be prevented.

Death Roll [hybrid maneuver]
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Bite Hold
Power Points: Animal Hybrid 4
School System Power Points: Inhuman 4
Description: The Death Roll is the death blow used by crocodiles and alligators the world over. They grab their prey in a vise grip and drag them underwater. Once there they roll over and over until their victim expires.
System: This is a sustained hold and requires a body of water. On the first round the attacker grabs their intended target in the bite lock using the +2 damage modifier below. In the following round, provided the hold is maintained, the attacker then makes a contested strength roll against the defender (difficulty 7 for the defender if they are knocked down). No damage is inflicted at this time. If the strength roll succeeds the attacker drags the defender up to two hexes backwards. Repeat this process until the attacker reaches the intended body of water.

Once underwater the rolling begins and the hold inflicts damage using the second damage modifier below. The defender automatically begins drowing - suffering aggravated damage each round - if any damage from the hold goes unsoaked.

Death Valley Driver
Requirements: Grab ****, Athletics ***, Fireman’s Carry
Power Points: Bando, Dirty Fighting, Lua, Wrestling, Special Forces 5
School System Power Points: Military, Grappler 5
Description: The Death Valley Driver, or D.V.D., is known by a number of different names but all share the same core mechanics. The wrestler hoists their unlucky victim up onto their shoulders using both arms to secure them then pulls the opponent’s head down and falls in that direction driving the victim into the ground head first.
System: For each point of Strength that the attacker has over the defender this maneuver inflicts an extra +1 damage. The defender is knocked down in the same hex as their attacker. Because the attacker holds the victim and falls into them the damage cannot be negated with Breakfall and the knockdown cannot be prevented.

In order to perform the Death Valley Driver the victim must first be placed into a Fireman’s Carry. The Driver can be performed in the same round with two successes on a Grab check but the wrestler sacrifices all movement.

Disengage
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics **
Power Points: Ninjitsu, Chin Na 1, Lua, Native American Wrestling, Pankration, Sanbo, Spanish Ninjitsu, Wrestling, Bando 2, Tai Chi Chuan 3, Any 4
School System Power Points: Hunter 1, Grappler 2, Dirty Fighting, Inner 3, Any 4
Description: This maneuver utilizes a fighter's flexibility and quickness to extract themselves from an opponent's grasp.
System: A fighter may play this move during any combat turn in which they are in a sustained hold and constitutes that character's action for that round. The captive fighter rolls a second time to try to escape from their captor using their Dexterity versus their opponent's Strength. If they escape they may immediately move away using the movement modifier listed below.

Dislocate Limb
Requirements: Grab ***, Kick **, Athletics *
Power Points: Baraqah, Capoeira, Lua, Pankration, Ninjitsu, Chin Na, Dirty Fighting 2, Jiu Jitsu, Kabbaddi, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo, Special Forces, Silat, Tai Chi Chuan, Wrestling 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Dirty Fighting 2, Mystical, Military, Capoeira 3
Description: Jumping forward the fighter grasps their opponent's arm tightly with both of theirs. They then lift one leg into the pit of the opponent's arm and pull with all of their strength. This pulls the shoulder joint loose from it's socket; causing incredible pain and rendering the arm useless until reset.

Very little damage is inflicted by this maneuver but it is an effective way to deal with an opponent who specializes in punches. Depending on the venue this could be seen as a dishonorable tactic.
System: The turn after a fighter's shoulder has been dislocated they suffer a -3 speed penalty as they are forced to pop the arm back into it’s regular position. Any punches used while the arm is dislocated have a -2 damage modifier as the fighter attempts to return some feeling to the arm. Alternately, they can choose not to relocate the arm and only throw kicks until they take the time (and the -3 speed penalty) to relocate the arm.

Double Slam
Requirements: Grab ***
Power Points: Scottish Highland Fighting 4
School System Power Points: Scottish Highland Fighting 3, Grappler 4
Description: Scottish Highlanders show off their strength with this move where they pick their victim up, slam her to the ground, then hoist her up again to slam her down again! Like all Highlander techniques it's brutal and to the point.
System: The victim is hoisted overhead to land for the first slam in the hex opposite where they were relative to the Highlander then is returned to their own hex after the second slam. The Highlander must move into the same hex to grab but steps back for the slams thus effectively not moving from his original position. The victim is knocked down. They also take separate damage from each individual slam.

Dragon Drop
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Kick ***
Power Points: Wu Shu 3, Capoeira 4, Any 5
School System Power Points: Wu Shu 3, Capoeira, Kickboxing 4, Any 5
Description: In a seemingly impossible chain of movement the fighter grabs hold of their opponent and flings themselves up and over him - doing a 180 degree turn while directly above them. On their descent the fighter uses their forward momentum to slam a powerful kick to back of their opponent’s head or back.
System: The attacker needs to score at least two successes on a grab check to get into position. Use the modifiers below and the opponent is forced forward as many hexes equal to attacker’s strength and knocked down. The attacker ends the round one hex behind where the defender was standing at the time the kick was delivered.

Eye Rake
Requirements: Grab *, Punch *
Power Points: Animal Hybrid, Lua, Ninjitsu, Bando, Dirty Fighting 1, Any 2
School System Power Points: Inhuman, Dirty Fighting 1, Any 2
Description: In a truly desperate move the fighter clenches their fingers into a claw and rakes them across their opponent's eyes. The pain caused by this is incredible but usually does not result in any permanent damage.

Few Street Fighters use this attack as it is considered extremely poor form. Nonetheless, it has often meant the difference between winning and losing a match.
System: Very little damage results from this attack but for the next turn the opponent must fight blind. If their Blind Fighting skill is zero they are effectively dizzied.

A fighter forced to resort to this desperate move loses one temporary Honor point. If an Eye Rake is used in a tournament they will also lose one temporary Glory point.

Facelock
Requirements: Grab **
Power Points: Wrestling, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo, Pankration, Lua 2
School System Power Points: Grappler 3, Any 4
Description: Unlike the Sleeper a Facelock is intended to inflict pain by forced contortion rather then oxygen depravation. The wrestler wraps their arm around their opponent’s head and secures the lock by holding the wrist on their wrapping arm with their other hand.

Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Back Breaker, Fireman’s Carry
Power Points: Wrestling 2, Bando, Dirty Fighting, Lua, Special Forces, Pankration, Jiu Jitsu, Sanbo 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 3, Military 4
Description: The wrestler first places their victim into a Fireman’s Carry then heaves their victim over their head and kneels so that the victim slams into the wrestler’s knee.

Fireman’s Carry
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics *
Power Points: Wrestling 1, Bando, Dirty Fighting, Lua, Special Forces, Pankration, Jiu Jitsu, Sanbo 2
School System Power Points: Wrestling 1, Grappler 2, Dirty Fighting 3
Description: The Fireman’s Carry is a fairly basic Wrestling maneuver. The wrestler scoops up their victim and drapes them horizontally face down over their shoulders using one arm to hold the victim’s head and the other to secure a leg. Typically the arm that holds the victim’s head also locks down one arm.
System:This is a sustained hold that is tricky to break free of due to it’s awkward position and limb pins. While sustaining the Fireman’s Carry the wrestler may move up to one half of their athletics in movement each round – walking speed at best – in order to position the defender for one of the throws or drops utilized from this position.

Wrestling maneuvers that require Fireman’s Carry to learn also require it to be used. In this case this maneuver is converted into a grab check on the speed of the damaging maneuver if there is no delay in rounds between setting up the Fireman’s Carry and performing the other maneuver. There is no movement between the grab and the drop in these cases.

Fireman’s Gutbuster
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Fireman’s Carry
Power Points: Wrestling 2, Bando, Dirty Fighting, Lua, Special Forces, Pankration, Jiu Jitsu, Sanbo 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 2, Dirty Fighting 3

Description: The wrestler first places his victim in a Fireman’s Carry then pulls the head forward and down while going into a quick kneel. This action forces the victim’s head into the wrestler’s knee as well as driving their upper body into the wrestler’s shoulder. The snap of this action forces the wrestler to release the victim who is thrown back by recoil.
System: If used on the same round as the Fireman’s Carry the wrestler needs two successes on a Grab check to get the defender into position. The defender is knocked down in the hex behind the wrestler.

Fish Hook
Requirements: Grab *, Strength ***
Power Points: Any 2
School System Power Points: Any 2
Description: This is a brutal, almost cruel, technique has become popular in the underground fighting world. A fighter hooks a finger into an opponent’s mouth and does his best to rip their cheek out or at the very least tear some facial muscles. Considered a dirty tactic, many see fighters that use it to be completely dishonorable.
System: A fighter that wishes to use a Fish Hook must first have their opponent in a sustained hold which permits access to the defender's face. On the round it is used this maneuver's speed and damage apply instead of the sustained hold's. Any damage dealt above the opponent's Stamina counts as aggravated damage.

Power Points: Silat, Savate, Baraqah, Kung Fu, Hapkido, Majestic Crow Kung Fu 3, Ninjitsu, Spanish Ninjitsu 4, Any 5
School System Power Points: Karate, Kung Fu 3, Hunter 4, Any 5
Description: This maneuver starts just like a Flowering Smash but once on their target’s back the fighter kicks off her opponent into a jump straight up and comes crashing back down feet first.
System: This maneuver requires two successes on a Grab check to get into position. Both fighters are knocked down from this maneuver in the same hex. The attacker rolls Grab to get into position then uses Athletics for damage that can be negated with Breakfall at difficulty 8 (it is simply more difficult to tuck into a defensive posture with someone driving their heels into your back).

Description: Like a whirlwind of force this maneuver can take an unsuspecting street fighter completely by surprise. The fighter grabs their opponent by the head, neck, hair, etc and yanks them over then launches themselves onto their back into a psuedo-Back Roll. Once there they spin in place, grasp the head again, and fall taking their opponent with them to the ground.
System: Both fighters are knocked down from this maneuver in the same hex. The attacker rolls Grab twice – once to get into position and the second time for damage. This maneuver requires two successes on a Grab check to get into position.

Description: The fighter launches into the air and slams into his opponent, taking them both to the ground. This maneuver is considered crude by many high ranking Street Fighters although it's effectiveness cannot be denied.

Grab
Requirements: Grab *
Power Points: Any 1
School System Power Points: Any 1
Description: This is a relatively basic maneuver, in the sense that it is a basic maneuver, known to Street Fighters and street thugs alike. The fighter simply grabs their target with the intent to hold them and can slowly inflict damage by squeezing although this maneuver lacks the precision that special sustained holds possess.

Grappling Defense
Requirements: Grab ****
Power Points: Jiu Jitsu 2, Aikido, Baraqah, Lua, Native American Wrestling, Pankration, Sanbo, Tai Chi Chuan, Wrestling, Chin Na, Hapkido 3, Jeet Kune Do, Kung Fu, Ler Drit, Majestic Crow Kung Fu, Silat, Bando 4, Any 5
School System Power Points: Grappler 2, Inner, Kung Fu, Karate 3, Any 4
Description: Wrestlers don't survive long unless they learn ways to escape and counter the grabs and holds of their fellow wrestlers. Other styles, such as the Kung Fu art of Chin Na or the Japanese art of Jiu-Jitsu, formalize this grappling training.
System: Grappling Defense works similarly to a Block but it only protects against Grab maneuvers. A fighter employing Grappling Defense adds his Grab technique to his Stamina to determine his Soak total against any Grab maneuver.

Grappling Defense can even be played each turn by a fighter trapped in a sustained hold thereby minimizing the damage the hold inflicts. This is not considered a block for purposes of speed bonuses.

Ground Leglock
Requirements: Grab **, Punch ** or Kick **, Ground Fighting (see below)
Power Points: Wrestling, Pankration, Sanbo, Lua, Jiu Jitsu 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 3
Description: This leglock is a defensive maneuver designed to be utilized by a wrestler on the ground to eliminate the height advantage of their opponent. When their opponent closes, say to perform a Pin, the wrestler uses an arm or leg to wrap around the opponent’s ankle and force them to the ground with a quick snap.
System: The defender is knocked down in the same hex as their attacker. This may not be used against an aerial opponent. It can be used as an abort maneuver by the ground wrestler but at a speed of +0. If the wrestler on the ground also as Ground Fighting they may perform this maneuver as if it’s base speed were +2 (not applicable when using as an abort maneuver).

Hair Throw

Power Points: Jiu Jitsu, Kung Fu, Majestic Crow Kung Fu, Ninjitsu, Special Forces, Silat, Dirty Fighting 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Kung Fu, Hunter, Military, Karate, Dirty Fighting 2, Any 3
Description: This throwing maneuver was invented hundreds of years ago by a Mongolian tribe renowned for it’s acrobatic grappling maneuvers. The tribe was assaulted by bands of thieving marauders who would gallop in on horses and pillage the tribe's villages. Seeing that the marauders wore their hair in long locks the tribe invented a technique for running at a horseman, flipping up and over the horseman's head, grabbing his hair from behind and throwing the marauder off his horse.

Various styles of Kung Fu and several Special Forces groups have since picked up the technique.
System: The fighter must move into and straight through an opponent's hex. The opponent can then be thrown (per the Throw maneuver) along the same straight line the fighter initially used to move over their opponent.

Hangman’s Noose
Requirements: Athletics ***, Grab ***, Jump, Sleeper, Elbow Smash
Power Points: Special Forces, Sanbo 2, Shotokan Karate, Native American Wrestling 3
School System Power Points: Military, Grappler 3, Karate 4
Description: The fighter jumps at their opponent, catches them around the neck, then hangs off their back while squeezing the head or throat.
System: The jump is considered an aerial maneuver that cannot evade projectiles. This maneuver is a sustained hold that lasts up to the attacker’s Stamina, in half, in rounds. On the first round the defender must score at least one success on a Strength roll or be ripped off their feet and suffer three extra dice in damage from the hard fall. The defender cannot opt to automatically fail this roll (it is hardwired for humans to try to keep their balance) but if they do the sustained hold ends.

Every round the fighter applying this grab must inflict damage or lose their grip and fall. Damage from the sleeper grip receives a +2 bonus and automatically dizzies the victim if maintained for three rounds. On the last round, or any prior if the attacker wishes, the defender is slammed in the head by an Elbow Smash (Strength + Punch + 2) and knocked down. This ends the hold.

Hangman’s Noose is established with a deliberately awkward angle to make it difficult for the defender to shake the grappler. All attempts to do so have +1 difficulty except for teleport maneuvers. Grappling Defense is useless against this maneuver after the first round although San He can prevent knockdown.

Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ****, Punch **
Power Points: Baraqah, Bando 2
School System Power Points: Karate, Mystical, Inner 3
Description: Daredevils of Bando love to confuse their opponents with this tricky yet flashy maneuver.

To add insult to injury the fighter concludes with a backhand punch to their opponent’s head.
System: The attacker must score two successes on the grab check to get into position. Punch Defense provides no protection from either the grab or the backhand. Damage is considered double for the purposes of determining a dizzy. The attacker ends their turn in the hex behind the defender.

Description: The fighter jumps onto their opponent and with their feet braced against their foe leaps off pushing hard with both legs.
System: This maneuver cannot be used against an opponent on the ground, in a sustained hold, or in the midst of an aerial maneuver. The attacker needs to score at least one success on a Grab check to get into position.

Once the grab is established the attacker kicks off using their Kick technique for damage instead of Grab. Breakfall can negate up to half the damage inflicted (this move is assumed to do half it’s damage from the kick and half from the fall). Both fighters are moved two hexes from their starting point in opposite directions and are knocked down.

Inza Drop (Inuza Drop)
Requirements: Athletics ****, Grab ***, Wall Spring, Air Suplex
Power Points: Ninjitsu, Spanish Ninjitsu 3
School System Power Points: Hunter 3
Description: The ninja snatches up their unlucky victim, wall springs and suplexes them. If there is no wall to spring off of the ninja cannot perform an Inza Drop. The victim can be grabbed before the wall spring but if they have Disengage they get a Dexterity test to break free while the ninja is on the wall.
System: One success is needed on the initial Grab test to scoop up the victim. The wall spring is an aerial maneuver and dodges projectiles like a standard jump. Both the attacker and their victim end in the same hex and are knocked down. Because of the speed the ninja is moving at this maneuver cannot be used to interrupt an aerial maneuver their target is performing (their intended target must be on the ground when the ninja attempts to grab them). This maneuver can hit crouching opponents. The ninja can perform the suplex in any hex they wish after the wall spring thereby ending the maneuver.

Iron Claw
Requirements: Grab *****
Power Points: Lua, Majestic Crow Kung Fu, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo, Silat, Wrestling, Chin Na 4, Ler Drit 5
School System Power Points: Kung Fu, Grappler, Karate 4, Ler Drit 5
Description: The wrestler quickly grabs their opponent with one hand, draws them in, and then places their other hand on the opponent's face. The wrestler's hand clenches like a vise over the opponent's face; each finger digging into a pressure point like the temples, under the jaw, or even into the eyes. The sheer force of the squeeze causes intense pain to the victim.

Wrestlers train for the Iron Claw by performing a variety of exercises to increase their grip strength. One of the most popular involves dropping and catching slabs of concrete. A wrestler takes a concrete block and raises it over their head with both outstretched arms. They release the block and then dart their hands down to catch it before it hits the ground. Grasping the heavy concrete quickly builds tremendous hand strength. Wrestlers then practice clapping their hands together after they release the concrete and then still grabbing it before it hits the ground. The clapping builds speed.
System: The Iron Claw is a sustained hold that uses the modifiers listed below.

Cost: 1 Willpower on the first turn only. Speed: +1 Damage: +4 Move: One

Joint Break
Requirements: Grab *****, Joint Lock
Power Points: Chin Na 2, Lua, Sanbo 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Karate, Military 3, Dirty Fighting 4
Description: The fighter grabs one of his opponent's limbs and twists it violently in a manner it was not meant to be - breaking the joint. Breaking an opponent's limbs is considered very poor form in most tournaments but is generally held to be acceptable in some dojos as part of training. Such a sensei is quick to point out that students who aren't ready to handle this maneuver have no business fighting.
System: If the victim takes any damage from this maneuver the limb is broken until it heals. The break may be applied to a joint itself or to a limb bone. If applied to the neck the victim will suffer airway constriction and pass out within three turns. Such an injury always results in death unless treated. Killing an opponent in this manner costs the fighter a full rank of Honor.

Damage from this maneuver is always considered aggravated. Chi Kung healing can fix the break if as many health levels are restored as the Joint Break inflicted. Natural healing requires medical treatment to set the break and twice as much time as normal. If the limb is not set the fighter will suffer a permanent loss of 1 Dexterity as the bone, tendons, and ligaments heal in an awkward manner.

Joint Lock
Requirements: Grab ****
Power Points: Chin Na, Judo, Jiu Jitsu 2, Lua, Sanbo 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Karate 3, Dirty Fighting 4
Description: The fighter grabs one of the opponent's limbs and twists it around in a manner it was never meant to be - forcing their opponent to the ground in pain. The Joint Lock is an advanced version of a classic hold utilized by many in law enforcement to prevent someone from striking back.
System: This is a sustained hold. For the duration of the Joint Lock the victim is considered to be crouching and cannot use the locked limb though they may attack with another limb by spending a point of Willpower.

The damage from a Joint Lock is stun damage only although it is extremely painful. Even if the victim is incapacitated from the pain they will not be physically damaged by it. Armor and abilities which modify the defender's soak total do not effect the damage taken from this.

Judo Throw
Requirements: Grab **, Throw
Power Points: Judo 1, Chin Na, Hapkido, Dirty Fighting, Special Forces 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 1, Karate, Inner, Dirty Fighting, Military 2, Any 3
Description: This is an improved throw using the opponent's momentum to hurl them. It is a classic martial arts move frequently taught in self-defense classes and amongst law enforcement. It is a fast maneuver (for a grab) but it's speed is an offshoot of the fact that is a reactionary move.
System: The fighter employing this maneuver must interrupt their opponent's attack. The fighter can throw his victim up to his strength in hexes plus one additional hex if the victim was rushing them. The victim is knocked down.

System: Like using Judo Throw the fighter must interrupt their opponent. The jump is vertical and ends in the same hex where it started. The victim lands in an adjacent hex and suffers a knockdown even if no damage is inflicted. Projectile attacks cannot be dodged with this maneuver.

School System Power Points: Capoeira, Grappler, Military, Kickboxing, Dirty Fighting 2, Any 3
Description: This move resembles the Brain Cracker except that the wrestler grabs his opponent's head and doubles her over in order to knee her in the head. Capoeira stylists practice this move by holding coconuts in one hand and crushing them with their knees.
System: This move is a sustained hold and even if the opponent is lucky enough to escape they are considered knocked down and suffer a -2 speed penalty the turn after freeing themselves. Damage for the Knee Bash is calculated using the fighter's Kick technique instead of Grab.

Requirements: Grab **
Power Points: Wrestling, Lua 1, Any 2
School System Power Points: Grappler 1, Any 2
Description: The Leglock is a basic wrestling maneuver. The fighter holds their opponent in a vice-grip with their legs and squeezes. Although this is commonly performed with both the wrestler and their victim on the ground a Leglock can be applied at any time the fighter has the opportunity to do so although such cases are no doubt awkward at best.
System: This is a sustained hold. If the lock is established on the victim’s head and neck it will automatically inflict a dizzy if maintained for three rounds. Traditionally both the wrestler and the defender are knocked down during the hold.

Leg Smash
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Leglock
Power Points: Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Lua 1, Wrestling 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Kickboxing 2, Any 3
Description: The Leg Smash is a sustained Leglock with a vicious demeanor. Instead of simply holding their opponent and hoping that pressure forces them to surrender the fighter uses pure lower body strength to smash their opponent into the ground or a nearby object. It takes considerable strength to successfully perform this maneuver.
System: This is a sustained hold and functions much like Leglock. The attacker uses their Athletics for damage instead of Grab and has a penalty to damage equal to one point for each dot of Strength their opponent has over them.

Leg Twist (Fatal Leg Twister)
Requirements: Grab ****, Kick **, Hooligan Combo, Back Roll Throw
Power Points: Special Forces 3, Ninjitsu 4
School System Power Points: Military 3, Hunter 4
Description: Gradually fighters developed the Hooligan Combo into a rolling throw. This variation sees the fighter run to their target, jump, and catch them in the thigh press, but instead of applying a sustained hold they roll and throw their unfortunate victim with a single powerful kick.
System: The fighter wishing to perform a Leg Twist must have two open hexes between themselves and their target to run and get up to speed. This maneuver scores two damage tests. The first is the Thigh Press and subsequent slamming to the ground, which has a +4 damage modifier. The second is from the back roll throw immediately afterwards and has a +5 modifier.

The victim of a Leg Twist is thrown a number of hexes equal to their attacker’s Strength. Both participants are knocked down.

Leverage
Requirements: Grab *
Power Points: Sanbo, Judo 1, Any 2
School System Power Points: Grappler 2, Any 3
Description: Leverage is a very painful maneuver although it inflicts little damage. The fighter pounces on a downed opponent seizing a limb and applying pressure with their body as they pull the limb in order to inflict pain.
System: The opponent must be in a knockdown position. This means the fighter must hit him down at the end of one round and apply the Leverage in the next one or have a teammate inflict knockdown first. Doing this the fighter is now, too, in a knockdown position sharing the same hex. If the attacker first applies a Pin they may add that maneuver's bonus to maintain the hold each round.

A person in Leverage can only try to get out with half their strength unless they also have Ground Fighting. After 3 rounds in the hold the defender is automatically dizzied from pain. If used outside the ring to extract information the fighter loses 1 temporary Honor per round the hold is maintained.

System: Mandara Twist is a conjunction maneuver with Kick Defense. Kick Defense must be chosen as the action for that round and not as an abort maneuver. During that round the defending fighter will have two speed values. The first is for Kick Defense and the second is for Mandara Twist. At the time the defending fighter wishes to initiate the Twist they must be faster then the kick which they are attempting to interrupt. The victim is knocked down one hex to the left or right. For more details on conjunctions see Ankle Smasher.

Power Points: Wrestling, Lua 3, Majestic Crow Kung Fu 4, Spanish Ninjitsu, Capoeira, Special Forces 5
School System Power Points: Grappler 3, Kung Fu 4, Hunter, Capoeira, Military 5
Description: It takes a certain skill (or suicidal tendency) to attempt a Monkey Flip in a street fighting arena. The wrestler clasps their opponent behind the head and springs up placing their feet against the abdomen. Then they fall pulling their victim to the ground and kick up launching them into a gut-busting throw. Damage is dealt both by the contortion on the initial pull and the hard landing.
System: Performing a Monkey Flip without a means to hold the target steady increases the difficulty of the damage roll to 7. The fighter may add up to half of their Athletics technique, rounded down, to this roll.

Both fighters are knocked down and the victim is thrown back in a straight line a maximum number of hexes equal to the attacker’s Strength. Unlike the Rising Storm Crow the damage tests are not combined for the purposes of dizzying the victim.

Rising Storm Crow
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics ***, Throw
Power Points: Majestic Crow Kung Fu 4, Kung Fu 5
School System Power Points: Kung Fu 4, Dirty Fighting 5
Description: The Rising Storm Crow is a devastating maneuver based on the same principles of leverage seen in the Thigh Press only taken a step further. The fighter charges and grabs anything at hand on the front of her target (lapels, hair, ears). They then launch into a forward flip directly over their opponent. As they land in a crouched position (still facing the direction they started in) the fighter bends their opponent over backwards and pulls them over their head using the momentum of the leap to fling them tumbling through the air. Damage is caused by both the forced backward contortion and the impact of the landing. Successful repetition of this maneuver can easily batter an opponent senseless.
System: The fighter must start at least two hexes away from their target and can throw them in a straight line forward for as many hexes as they have Strength. The target takes two damage tests: one at the fighter's (Strength + Grab) -3 when the forced flip is initiated and then another using twice the fighter's Strength when the target lands: (Strength x 2) + Grab. The opponent suffers a knockdown irregardless of damage. Both damage tests combine to determine if the victim is dizzied.

Cost: 1 Willpower Speed: -3 Damage: see above Move: +2 (minimum Move 2)

Ripping Bite [hybrid maneuver]
Requirements: Grab ***, Bite
Power Points: Animal Hybrid 2
School System Power Points: Inhuman 2
Description: Animal hybrid Street Fighters often use their jaws as weapons. The fighter chomps down on the limb he wishes to weaken and then tries to tear the muscles and ligaments from their connecting tissue. It is because of this maneuver (and others like it) that animal hybrids are looked down upon in and out of tournaments.
System: The fighter leaps forward and indicates which limb they wish to strike. A successful roll inflicts damage and causes the target to suffer a -1 penalty on both Strength and Dexterity when using maneuvers requiring that limb for the remainder of combat. This maneuver can be performed multiple times on the same opponent but only one bite per limb is effective.

System: This is a crouching maneuver. Both fighters make contested Dexterity + Athletics rolls. If the attacker wins the defender is knocked down in any hex adjacent to their starting position that the wrestler desires and suffers damage.

Siberian Bear Crusher
Requirements: Grab ***, Athletics **, Back Breaker
Power Points: Sanbo 5
School System Power Points: Grappler 5
Description: Irritated by little capitalist opponents who would hit and run from him Zangief revived and perfected a maneuver he had previously practiced on the wild bears of Siberia. In so doing, Zangief would rush at the bear - closing inside the range of the bear's deadly claws before it could strike. Then he lifted the bear into an airborne back breaker to hammer the beast into submission. (Of course, Zangief acquired a lot of claw scars trying to learn the maneuver.)
System: The wrestler dashes forward into the opponent's hex, grabs the opponent, inverts them, and leaps into the air. In midair the wrestler adjusts their hold to ensure the victim lands in the Back Breaker position. The wrestler can choose any hex up to three hexes away to land in. The victim will land in any hex adjacent to the wrestler. The victim suffers a knockdown in addition to damage. The Siberian Bear Crusher is considered an aerial maneuver during the time the wrestler and their prey are both airborne.

Siberian Suplex
Requirements: Grab ****, Athletics **, Suplex
Power Points: Sanbo 3
School System Power Points: Grappler 4
Description: Russian Sanbo wrestlers invented the bouncing Siberian Suplex in order to have more fun with their puny opponents from the West. Sanbo wrestlers found that their opponents would usually be knocked senseless after only one Suplex thus ending the match before the Sanbo fighter could work up a sweat. So they invented the Siberian Suplex. This move begins exactly like a regular Suplex but the fighter back-bridges the opponent's shoulders into the ground hard enough to bounce both fighters into the air. While in the air the Sanbo wrestler maintains the Suplex hold. When the pair lands the victim again suffers a Suplex collision on the ground.
System: This move is identical to a Suplex except that the fighters end the move one hex farther back as they land from the second hit. The fighter rolls two damage tests using the modifiers below. The victim also suffers a knockdown.

Sleeper
Requirements: Grab ***
Power Points: Lua, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo 3, Special Forces, Sumo Wrestling, Bando 4, Any 5
School System Power Points: Grappler 3, Military, Karate 4
Description: The wrestler grabs her opponent and quickly positions herself behind him, simultaneously wrapping her arms around his neck and head. In this position she massages pressure points on the scalp while compressing the carotid artery which controls the flow of blood to the brain. Eventually the lack of circulation will cause the opponent to lose consciousness.

System: If the character can maintain their grip for three rounds, including the first, they will automatically dizzy their opponent. This is a sustained hold.

Soul Drain
Requirements: Grab **, Focus ***
Power Points: Mystic, Kabbaddi, Ler Drit 1, Any 3
School System Power Points: Mystical, Ler Drit 1, Inner, Dirty Fighting 2, Any 3
Description: A master of focused chi can be a terrifying opponent in the wrestling ring. Some have developed the ability to siphon the will to fight right out of their opponents with a mere touch. Depending on the venue this move could be seen as dishonorable.
System: A Soul Drain is activated as part of a basic Grab (this move does not work with special grabs) and is a sustained hold. The attacker inflicts damage each turn equal to Intelligence + Focus which the victim soaks with permanent Willpower. At the end of each turn the defender loses one temporary Willpower to the draining effect.

Disengage and Grappling Defense have reduced effects due to the intense pain the draining causes and function at a –2 penalty. If the attacker runs out of Chi before the hold is broken the victim suffers no additional damage but is still considered to be held as per the Grab basic maneuver. To shift into another sustained hold the attacker must first release this one then attempt to apply a new one.

Spinning Pile Driver
Requirements: Grab ****, Athletics ***, Jump, Pile Driver
Power Points: Wrestling 3, Sanbo 4, Native American Wrestling 5
School System Power Points: Grappler 4
Description: This advanced version of the regular Pile Driver has carried Zangief to the title of World Warrior (often over the mangled bodies of his opponents). He perfected this move when he wrestled wild bears. Finding that the regular Pile Driver was not forceful enough to stun the hard-headed Siberian bears, Zangief grabbed them, upended them into the Pile Driver position and then jumped high into the air. The added force from the fall proved sufficient to stun the most ferocious bears.

When Zangief entered Street Fighter tournaments he continued to use the Spinning Pile Driver to finish his opponents. He added the spin into the move to please the Russian crowds and disorient his victim.
System: The victim suffers a knockdown in addition to regular damage and is bounced three hexes away (attacker's choice which direction) after impact.

The Spinning Pile Driver can be used like a Jump to interrupt and dodge a projectile attack. The move counts as an aerial maneuver after the fighter grabs his opponent and begins the airborne spin.

Hawk grabs his opponent's head in one huge hand, leaps into the air, spins his arm (opponent included!) in a big circle and then crushes the opponent's face into the arena floor. Very few opponents get back up.
System: As with all Grab maneuvers the fighter must move into the same hex as their opponent. The fighter can choose to land up to three hexes away. The opponent suffers a knockdown in addition to damage. Fighter and opponent end the turn in the same hex.

Once the fighter has grabbed the opponent and jumped into the air the Storm Hammer is considered an aerial maneuver until the fighter and their prey land. The move can be used it to interrupt an incoming projectile attack and possibly dodge it.

Sunset Flip
Requirements: Grab ****, Athletics ****, Jump, Leglock
Power Points: Bando, Dirty Fighting, Spanish Ninjitsu, Chin Na, Lua, Wrestling 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Karate, Kung Fu 3, Hunter 4
Description: The Sunset Flip is a maneuver first learned by launching from a sitting position at head level to the opponent. The attacker leaps behind his opponent and grabs him from behind in a leglock around the waist then continues falling forward pulling her to the ground with his legs so that she smashes into the ground.

After mastering this sequence the fighter then learns to perform the Flip by jumping over their opponent’s head and administering the leglock.
System: The attacker moves forward into the defender’s hex and needs two successes on a Grab check to proceed. If that succeeds both fighters move an additional hex in the same line of movement and suffer an unpreventable knock down. Afterwards the opponent is held in a sustained Leglock.

Thigh Press
Requirements: Grab **, Athletics **
Power Points: Jiu Jitsu, Native American Wrestling, Sanbo, Special Forces, Wrestling 2, Any 3
School System Power Points: Grappler, Military 2, Any 3
Description: This move is also called a Reverse Suplex but many tournament fighters began calling it the Thigh Press after they saw Cammy's version of it. The fighter starts by jumping onto the opponent's shoulders, locking their feet behind the opponent's back and catching the opponent's head between their thighs. The fighter then drops their body weight backward - bending the opponent over. As they do so the fighter flips backward, doing a half back flip and landing on their stomach. Meanwhile, the opponent is pulled over and off their feet smashing headfirst into the ground.

System: The opponent suffers a knockdown in addition to regular damage. The fighter switches hexes with their opponent unless both combatants started in the same hex in which case the attacker can choose the adjacent hex in which the victim lands.

Cost: None Speed: -1 Damage: +4 Move: One
Source: Core Rulebook

Throw
Requirements: Grab *
Power Points: Any 1
School System Power Points: Any 1
Description: Most martial arts teach special techniques for grabbing and throwing an opponent. These techniques involve using the hips, shoulders and/or arms to unbalance the opponent and leverage him into a throw. Masters can throw opponents over 20 feet through the air.
System: If the move succeeds the fighter can choose the hex in which his opponent lands after the Throw. The fighter can throw an opponent a number of hexes equal to the fighter's Strength. Fast members of successful tournament teams often throw opponents to their stronger, slower comrades who then finish off the unfortunate with a powerhouse special maneuver.

The damage from a Throw is actually inflicted when the opponent lands and hits the ground, wall, car windshield, other fighter, etc. If the victim is thrown into another fighter, the fighter struck by the flying body may suffer damage as well. Roll damage based on the thrown character's Stamina minus the struck character's soak total (Stamina or Stamina + Block).

Example: Fei Long throws Zangief into a hex where Cammy is standing. Zangief's Stamina is 7 (he's a big guy!), and Cammy's soak total is equal to her Stamina of 4 (it would have been more had she been Blocking), so Fei Long's player rolls 7 - 4 = 3 dice of damage for Cammy.

Tonga Death Grip
Requirements: Grab ****, Punch ****, Focus ***, Atemi Strike, Braincracker (see below)
Power Points: Lua, Chin Na, Jiu Jitsu 4, Sanbo, Ninjitsu, Wrestling 5
School System Power Points: Karate, Inner 3, Hunter, Grappler 5
Description: Utilizing the knowledge of human nerve points learned in delivering Atemi Strikes the fighter seizes their opponent under the chin and squeezes causing immense pain. As the hold is maintained the victim loses feeling in their head as breathing and blood flow become labored. Even after the Grip is released these effects linger.
System: This is a sustained hold. After two rounds in the Tonga Death Grip the defender loses one point of Dexterity temporarily. If maintained for four rounds the defender also loses one point off of all their techniques temporarily. While the hold is being maintained the victim has +1 difficulty to all of their actions.

If the attacker also knows Brain Cracker they may administer an Atemi Strike each round as an additional attack using the –2 speed listed below. The damage from the Grip and Strikes administered combine each round for dizzying purposes.

Tornado Grip
Requirements: Grab ****, Focus ****, Athletics *, Neck Choke
Power Points: Special Forces, Elemental: Air 4
School System Power Points: Military, Elemental: Air 4
Description: The elemental grabs their opponent and lifts them up off their feet in a crushing Neck Choke. As he does so air flares around the victim whipping into a swift buffeting vortex that further smothers her. The elemental then throws their victim letting the wind smash her to the ground.
System: There are two damage tests – one using the Neck Choke modifier below and the other with the fall modifier next to it. The victim ends the round knocked down a number of hexes away up to the attacker’s strength. Because of the smothering wind this knockdown cannot be prevented. The victim soaks as normal but for the purposes of determining a dizzy they only use half their stamina rounded up.

Cost: 1 Chi, 1 Willpower Speed: -1 Damage: +3/+4 Move: 1

Twirl and Hurl
Requirements: Grab ****, Athletics **
Power Points: Scottish Highland Fighting 4
School System Power Points: Scottish Highland Fighting 4

This move is famous among bar-frequenting Highlanders as an excellent way to clear an area for fighting properly in, and all it needs is one willing person lying nearby to pull it off..

System: The victim of the T & H must be already knocked down. The Highlander seizes the victim by the legs (need not move into the same hex to perform this Grab) and swings the poor fellow around a few times before throwing him through the air. During the swinging around, anyone in a ring of hexes around the Highlander takes damage as written below and is knocked down. The swinging continues for quite a while, until the end of the combat turn (such that anyone walking into the ring during this time will also be affected.) At the end of the combat turn the Highlander lets go, sending the victim a number of straight-line hexes in the direction of the fighter's choice, a distance equal to the fighter's Strength score. The victim is knocked down upon landing.
