Death Grip

Basic Action

Make a Clinch attack. If successful, you lock your opponent in a death grip. A death grip can only be broken if you go unconscious, suffer a Setback, or attack another creature with the limb you did a death attack with.

Once you have the target in a death grip, you can use the power again to attack your held target, and automatically hit. Even if your attack misses, it still does damage - you still add the outcome, which is now negative, causing less than the base damage.

If your Body scores are within 1 point of each other, you cannot move along with a Basic Action, but can move as a Move as a Basic Action. If either of you have 2 or more Body higher than your opponent, the stronger one can move normally, carrying the weaker one around like a rag doll.

Death Touch

Stance (Damage Boost)

You can imbue a Melee or Shoot attack with an additional type of damage. The damage of the attack increases by +2. Against a target that has different soak values against the two types of damage, use the lesser soak value but decrease the damage by 2. Death Touch does Infection damage soaked by Body and has special recovery rules. Objects and creatures without a metabolism such as robots and undead are immune.

Basic action

Make a Normal Melee Attack. If the target takes any damage, he loses any focus he might have.

Ghost Strikes

Stance

You make all your Melee attacks immaterial. An immaterial attack does mind blast damage equal to your Mind +0, soaked by the target's Mind. You ignore the normal damage value of any attack you use, but you can still take advantage of other aspects of schticks and powers.

Point Blockage

Finisher

The foe does not suffer a Damage Setback and is instead paralyzed. The victim retains all of his senses while paralyzed but is otherwise completely helpless. This is a Curse.

Shadow Fist

Finisher, Focus

If you knock out a living opponent and use this finishing move, you become focused. The opponent is not dead, but becomes torn by an intense fever and will die in three days unless cured by you or the Curse is removed.
