Neck Snap
TechniqueBasic Set: Characters · p.232
Open source p.232Hard Default ST-4; cannot exceed ST+3.
This brute-force attack consists of
grabbing and suddenly twisting the
victim’s head, with the intent of snap-
ping the neck – see Neck Snap o
Wrench Limb (p. 404). Unlike most
techniques, Neck Snap defaults to ST,
not a skill. Wrestling gives its usual
skill-based ST bonus.
A skill cannot default to another skill known only by default (see
Double Defaults, p. 173). However, techniques are not skills. If two tech-
niques are based on the same underlying skill, one can default to the
other, even if you only know the intermediate technique at default.
Example: Finger Lock defaults to Arm Lock-3, and Arm Lock
defaults to Judo or Wrestling. Effectively, Finger Lock also defaults to
Judo-3 or Wrestling-3.
