Default Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Pressure Points and Pressure Secrets

I had a ninja in a supers campaign who used both skills. His only supernatural advantages were clinging and silence so I had a lot of points to use on skills. I found pressure points to be amazingly useful in that setting. I took out an enemy brick very quickly because his DR had the tough skin modifier. paralyzing limbs was great for taking prisoners, and I even used it once on someone we were rescuing. She was being uncooperative.

In the total amnesia space game I'm running right now, one of the characters has it due to her background in Kalarippayattu which lists the unusual training perk as part of the style. I don't expect it to be too useful in this setting as most serious opponents will be armored.
