Spherus: Street Brawl Moves

Multiple Attacks Option:
Once a warrior's street brawl skill reaches 50, they can perform up to 3 attacks a round if they so desire. They can do any three attacks of which they have the total skill to do, but they receive no to hit or damage bonus for skill for any of them. The same move cannot be performed twice.

Prone: Some moves have the ability to knock an opponent prone. A prone opponent receives a -20 to hit, AC and all checks, and a +5 to speed. Opponents can use their action to recover from prone, or can do so as a non-action with a x1 Agi. Check (without the -20 implied by the Prone condition) on their turn.

Blind: Some moves have the ability to blind an opponent. Blinded opponents suffer a -20 to-hit during their next action, after which they recover from the blindness.

Winded: Some moves have the ability to wind an opponent. Winded opponents suffer a penalty of -10 to checks and AC and +3 speed until the start of their next action.

Knockback: Some moves have the ability to knock an opponent backwards. The attacker can choose to move a foe that they afflicted with knockback one hexagon in any direction.

Undefendable: Some moves are undefendable (defense). The Defense skill cannot be used to block such moves.

Street Brawl Special Moves

10: Toughness: Most brawlers have studied at the school of hard knocks, and it has served to toughen them up. A brawler may choose to activate toughness at the start of a combat round as a non-action, granting them a soak of 1 for every 5 brawl skill they choose to sacrifice for the combat round, at a cost of 1 PP for every 10 skill used (round down, minimum cost of 1). The character may not attack with any other conventional skill on a round where they have activated toughness.

30: Knockback: Brawlers can sacrifice precision in order to have a chance of adding knockback to any brawl attack. This gives the skill a -15 to-hit, but upon a successful hit the foe must make a x2 strength check - the damage inflicted or be knocked back.

40: Iron Fist: This move allows a warrior to punch straight through walls. At skill level 40, they can make a x1 strength check to punch through up to a foot of wooden wall. At level 50, they can punch through wood with a x2 strength check, and up to a foot of stone with a x1 strength check. And at level 60, they can punch through a foot of Admorite, with a x1 strength check, stone with a x2 and wood automatically. Note that walls of any sort more than a foot thick, or walls made of Zirlithium, cannot be punched through. Note also that this ability may damage a building's structural integrity, causing it to collapse on a warrior's head before he can make it through the opening he has just created.
