Any attack? Which book is that in? I completely missed this. I thought it had to be a Major Wound to those areas to force a Stun Check. Do you have a page number I can reference?

KNOCKDOWN
AND STUNNING
Whenever you suffer a major
wound, and whenever you are struck
in the head (skull, face, or eye) or vitals
for enough injury to cause a shock
penalty (see Shock, p. 419), you must
make an immediate HT roll to avoid
knockdown and stunning.

Modifiers: -5 for a major wound to
the face or vitals (or to the groin, on a
humanoid male); -10 for a major
wound to the skull or eye; +3 for High
Pain Threshold, or -4 for Low Pain
Threshold.

I'm already familiar with several options:
-AoA: Strong and Committed attack: Strong
-Rapid Strike and AoA (Double) for attacking twice
-Targeted attacks
-Throws from locks (quickly becoming my favorite)
-Using grappling CP to add to dmg for other grappling attacks and strikes

Technical Grappling recently included the neck as a sub-part of the head location. Is that only for grappling purposes, or should it apply for this rule too? For what it's worth, a blow that caused shock penalty hitting my neck does sound to me like it might plausibly force that HT roll too.
