	In order to initiate a grapple the fighter needs to take an aggressive stance and roll at a goal of -2, for a total modifier of +0 (+2 from Aggressive stance, -2 from penalty). If she wins, she and her opponent are grappling. Small melee weapons or pistols can be used at -2 goal in a grapple. Medium or larger melee weapons and anything larger than a pistol cannot be used while grappling. Grappling damage is per unarmed combat, and characters may use either Dex or Str while ~~grappling~~.

	A character who is grappled may break free by gaining the edge and declaring the grapple broken. Characters can move a few meters while grappled- this represents uncoordinated pushing and pulling, or even rolling around on the ground.

	In order to knock an opponent down or throw/push her into another object the fighter must take an aggressive stance and beat her opponent by 3 Vps. A character that was thrown or tripped is at -2 the next round. Damage done by a throw or trip is per unarmed combat (minus the 3 Vps required to cause the trip or throw), though obviously environmental hazards may increase the damage.

			A character who is significantly larger than her opponent (a person with the large blessing versus a character with the small blessing, a character with the Giant blessing versus a normal person, or a Vorox against anyone) requires only score 2 VPs greater than her opponent to knock her opponent down.

			====Drox====

			A Vorox trained in Drox counts as two opponents in combat for purposes of determining penalties and bonuses. Thus a Vorox martial artist with Drox facing off against a single opponent receives a +1 bonus to all combat rolls, and the same martial artist facing off against 2 opponents receives no bonus or penalty.

			====Pressure Points====

			The martial artist is trained in the physiology of their target and knows how to apply pressure to key areas of the body to achieve a variety of effects. A martial artist who knows the secrets of pressure points the martial artist may choose to not do damage but instead impose a penalty to a target's combat roll next round equal to VPs. The exact effect of this strike can vary- some martial artists know how to strike to cause intense pain, while others can cause numbness or even stranger effects.

	The martial artist strikes at one of the spiritual nodes of the target's body, disrupting the flow of energy between these foci and leaving the target's body out of balance. A martial artist using this maneuver takes a -2 penalty to their goal roll. Whenever the martial artist does damage to her opponent she may choose instead to impose a -1 wound penalty to the target for the remainder of the combat. This is not actually a wound and the target recovers from the penalty once she has a moment to rest. If the wound penalties ever exceed the target's Resolve, the target falls prone, her body no longer under her control, for 10 rounds.
