Eye-Pluck

Hard

Defaults: Brawling-10 or Karate-10.
Prerequisite: Brawling or Karate; cannot exceed pre-
requisite skill-4.
This cinematic technique involves using the clawed
fingers of one hand to grab an enemy’s eye and pull it out.
It’s a strike, not a grapple. You can try it repeatedly but
you can’t “hold onto” your enemy’s eye. Roll against Eye-
Pluck to hit.
Damage is thrust-3 crushing, plus your Brawling or
Karate bonus. Injury over HP/10 cripples the eye. Any
excess is lost. The difference between this and Eye-Poke
is that if you cripple the eye, your victim must make an
immediate HT roll. Failure means you pluck out his eye –
a permanent crippling injury! See p. B422.
If your foe’s Size Modifier exceeds yours by +5 or
more, his eye is too big for you to grab and your Eye-
Pluck counts only as an Eye-Poke.
