Noogie

Hard

Defaults: Brawling-5 or Karate-5.
Prerequisite: Brawling or Karate; cannot exceed prereq-
uisite skill.
A Noogie is a knuckle rub to the top of the head. If hit,
the victim suffers moderate pain on his next turn (only).
Repeated hits on successive turns cause this to progress a
step a turn to severe pain, terrible pain, and agony. Further
attacks extend the agony’s duration. For rules for pain and
agony, see p. B428.
The best way to use Noogie is to pin the target and noo-
gie away until he’s in agony. This gives the usual +3 to
Intimidation when you finally stop and make demands
(“Say ‘uncle’!”).
Head DR beyond the standard DR 2 for the skull grants
immunity.
