Damage from a Forced Posture Change?
I'm making a boss level enemy a grappler in honor of Technical Grappling, and I want one of his signature moves to be a face grab into forced posture change from standing to lying face up whilst taking a kneeling position to partially remove the negative for a large force posture change, all while doing damage to the back of the opponent's head from being slammed into the ground.
What would be the best steps for doing this all in one wait maneuver? |

Re: Damage from a Forced Posture Change?
This will be a head grapple, likely a Force Posture Change from standing to prone, and then probably a grab-and-smash. Let me get back to this in detail after I put my daughter to bed!

Re: Damage from a Forced Posture Change?
This will be another Force Posture Change from standing to prone, hopefully without requiring a head grapple.

Re: Damage from a Forced Posture Change?
The OP specified the face grab. That's the only reason I incorporated it. And FPC requires some sort of grapple, as does the Takedown from which it was generalized.

Edit: On the flip side, my daughter is already involved in martial arts, and sometimes we play "throw her by the head" as a game. No, really. Ho Shin Weebok Sul #24, I think. :-)

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).
