Crushing Jaws

The Crushing Jaws technique covers clinches and locks that bend bone and strain muscles. It covers maneuvers with names like can opener, bear hug, and Boston crab, moves that are illegal for many combat sports as they can cause serious injury or death. The Crushing Jaws technique allows Subduing actions (p. 195, CRB) to cause Physical Damage equal to the character’s Strength. This technique can only be used once per Combat Turn.
