Default Re: [MA] Finger Lock - what's the point?

Odd. In grade school, a strange kid bent my finger back until it broke. But while it hurt, of course, it didn't hurt anywhere near as much as I expected a broken bone to.
I swear, maybe I just have high pain threshold, but only on my right side.

Pain compliance only works if the target trusts you to do worse if you don't comply. Most Gurps combat involves less "social" forms, I imagine. More target knockdown, less intimidation through pain. But of course, YMMV.
