Default Re: Judo Throw Perk?

I'm wondering what y'all think about a perk (I'm thinking it might be comparable to Ramming Speed) that allows a judoka to use her opponent's size against him:

Fall Harder: This perk allows a judoka who makes a damaging throw to replace her ST score with the opponent's regular (not current) HP score to calculate damage. For example, a small judoka with ST 8 could throw a large opponent with 15 HP and inflict 1d crushing damage instead of 1d-4 crushing damage.

What do y'all think?
If you just treat them as suffering a 1-yard fall it wouldn't even be necessary. I just assume by default that should happen with any forced posture change to a lying position from standing.

It shouldn't take skill to do that, if anything it should take skill to knock someone to lying without them falling and hurting themself.
