Eye-Rake

Hard

Defaults: Brawling-5 or Karate-5.
Prerequisite: Brawling or Karate; cannot exceed pre-
requisite skill.
This technique attempts to blind the foe by scratching
a clawed hand across his face and eyes. It’s easier than
most strikes to the eyes because you’re using a broad
striking surface against a large target (the upper face), but
actual injury is superficial at best.
On a successful hit, roll thrust-1 crushing damage.
However, this isn’t a hard strike and normally inflicts no
injury. Instead, the victim must make a HT roll at a penal-
ty equal to the damage that penetrates DR. Failure means
he’s blinded for 1 minute times his margin of failure.
Critical failure means one eye suffers HP/10 of real injury
(round down) and is crippled!
