Wrestling (Revised)

Wrestling by Mephisto

(NOTE: Does not provide any extra attacks per melee!)

NOTE #2: This is a modification of the material in Rifter 3, page 41. I completely ignore the Wrestling skill as presented officially by Palladium (my personal hatred for Pin/Incapacitate knows no bounds). Note that these abilities can be combined with martial art styles that allow them into their systems.

NOTE #3: The grapple bonus applies to all holds, locks, body block/tackles, body flip/throws, crush/squeezes, automatic grabs and grab attacks. Strike bonuses do not apply to these moves, only to hand and foot attack. The Automatic Grab is a defensive move in place of a parry (it gets to use the Grapple bonus) and if it fails then the character can not use any escape move such as Roll with Punch/Fall/Impact or Maintain Balance to affect the damage taken.

Requirements: Must be part of a Skill program or if using an O.C.C. system, an O.C.C. related skill. Secondary skills can not be used to acquire Wrestling.
