This is a devastating elbow strike delivered using the
whole body. It’s normally done by dropping from a standing
posture, driving an elbow into the victim and landing on top
of him. You can use it against a kneeling, sitting, or lying foe,
making it an ideal follow-up to a takedown. Elbow Drop is a
special option for Committed Attack or All-Out Attack. Use
the rules here instead of the usual ones for those maneuvers.
Roll against Elbow Drop to hit. The victim may dodge or
block, or parry at -2. If he parries, your body counts as a
weapon with weight equal to your ST; see Parrying Heavy
Weapons (p. B376).
