No, it's a 12 and it's his Gaze attack.

Keep in mind, he's a scrub tier Boss meant to go out to a bunch 250 point guys.


If blasting the Wrestler with a 3d burning Gaze attack that the Wrestler is hard pressed to defend against isn't enough, I'd just give him a 1d/2 touch-based FP attack that is 'reversible', ie if Merle is touched* the attacker loses 1-3 FP (also if for some reason Merle decides to slap someone with his DX 10 'brawling' attack).

Two to three turns in and the Wrestler will be considering letting Merle go.



* Real, actual weapon attacks don't count, the Wrestler's 'weaponized' arms (and body) are fair game.

Note, this is exactly how my GM keeps my ST 30 Barbarian Ogress Wrestler "on her toes", he gives his rougher undead FP draining touch attacks. Which just means she reaches for her skill 14 mace (which actually does more damage than her wrestling... it's just less fun for me).
