Damage from a Forced Posture Change?

Can I get those details? I think you might've forgotten the thread...

Or I have a job and stuff. :-)

The face grab is straight-forward: A grapple of the head at -3 for hit location. Roll CP if successful.

The Force Posture Change is a Quick Contest of Trained ST or Force Posture Change (which translates to ST, DX, or grappling skill). You're dropping one level for +1, you're dropping him three for -4: you're at -3 in your contest.

The Grab-and-Smash you're looking for is "Kiss the Wall," Martial Arts p. 118. This is an attack on the skull at full penalties*, your foe may defend with a dodge, parry, or unarmed counter, and damage is based on Trained ST, +1 for the hard surface.

You may spend CP to either cancel location penalties or increase damage.

I'd string these three together as a Combination (Martial Arts p. 80).

Thanks! This is all the information I need.
