Martial Arts: Drop Stomp Technique

Martial Arts: Drop Stomp Technique

Have you ever wanted to combine Attack from Above and Drop Kick? I have.

Drop Stomp*

Hard

Defaults: Brawling-2, Sumo Wrestling-2, or Wrestling-3.

Prerequisite: Brawling, Sumo Wrestling, or Wrestling; cannot exceed prerequisite skill.

This technique is a variant of Attack from Above (p. MA67 for the technique, p. B402 for the rules). You execute a Drop Stomp as a Move and Attack or as an All-Out Attack. It's a type of slam (p. B371). Drop Stomp has Reach C, but you must drop on the target from above - this can be an ambush attack, an attack using Flight or Super Jump, or even a teleportation attack using Warp. Roll against Drop Stomp to hit. Damage is as for a slam, at +2 for going feet first (or +3 if wearing heavy boots). Brawling, Sumo Wrestling, or Wrestling adds its usual damage bonus. Until your next turn, you are at -2 to all active defenses.

Under the Hood:

Based on Attack from Above (Slam) - default -2;

Extra Damage: +2 or +1 per die - default -4;

Own Defenses (-2 to all) - default +4.
