THE NEW AND IMPROVED
|
|
|
|
ALTERNATIVE WRESTLING SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
|
|
INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Wrestling is the most basic of combat skills, unknowingly
|
|
practiced by almost all children as they rough and tumble with each
|
|
other. However, there exists a fine art of wrestling that only
|
|
professional wrestlers use. Thus, the Alternative Wrestling System
|
|
exists for those characters who are willing to spend a weapon
|
|
proficiency slot to learn and master the AWS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMBAT
|
|
|
|
Before the player makes an attack roll, he should roll the
|
|
percentile dice (1d100) and consult Tables B-G for the results. If the
|
|
die result is on table B, C, D, E, or F then the player is attempting
|
|
to do a standard, lifting, strength, agility, or illegal hold. If the
|
|
character meets the appropriate requirements given for the hold that
|
|
was rolled, then the player can make a normal attack roll to see if the
|
|
hold is successful.
|
|
Table G contains special items that require additional rolls on
|
|
the tables or no attack rolls whatsoever.

Notes for Requirement Section of Tables
|
|
|
|
MP refers to the maximum press of the character as defined by his
|
|
strength. W refers to the opponent's weight. Oppt's is an abbreviation
|
|
for Opponent's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Damage
|
|
|
|
Damage for the holds are given as hit points loss. Thus, a person
|
|
who receives a chop suffers 1 hit point of damage.
|
|
In the case of a few lifting holds where damage is listed as W,
|
|
the victim of the hold suffers an amount of damage equal to his weight
|
|
divided by 20. For example, a man who weighs 200 pounds gets body
|
|
slammed. He suffers 10 (200/20) points of damage from the devastating
|
|
move.
|
|
In the case of a few strength holds where damage is listed as
|
|
1/rd, the hold is a continuous hold. Until broken, the victim suffers 1
|
|
hit point of damage per round. To continue the hold, the character
|
|
cannot do other moves or actions. Of course, the character may opt to
|
|
voluntarily break the hold. The hold can be broken if the character is
|
|
successfully attacked by an outside force.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modifiers
|
|
|
|
If a character is attempting to wrestle in armor, the modifiers on
|
|
Table A are used (these are penalties to the attacker's attack roll).
|
|
Normal modifiers to the attack roll are also applied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TABLE A: ARMOR MODIFIERS FOR WRESTLING
|
|
|
|
Armor Modifiers
|
|
Studded leather -1
|
|
Chain, ring, scale mail -2
|
|
Banded, splint, and plate mail -5
|
|
Field plate armor -8
|
|
Full plate armor -10
|
|
|
|
|
|
Penalties for being held or attacking a held opponent do not apply
|
|
to wrestlers. Wrestling involves a lot of holding and twisting as it
|
|
is, and the damage resolution system for wrestling takes this into
|
|
account.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BEING PROFICIENT
|
|
|
|
Upon spending the 1 weapon proficiency slot for AWS, the character
|
|
must create a specialty hold that would be used in the case of a roll
|
|
of 98-100 on the tables. The specialty hold can be almost any type of
|
|
hold within reason. The only requirement is that damage done by the
|
|
hold doesn't exceed 4 points with the exception of a Lifting Hold that
|
|
does damage depnding on the oppenent's weight. Players are encouraged
|
|
to make an exciting and imaginative hold. GM's should make sure that
|
|
the hold has reasonable requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WRESTLING SPECIALIZATION
|
|
|
|
A player can spend another weapon proficiency slot to specializing
|
|
in the AWS. Any character of any class can specialize in wrestling.
|
|
Although other rules may state otherwise, any character of any class
|
|
can specialize in wrestling in connection with a specialization in
|
|
punching or martial arts.
|
|
When a character specializes in wrestling, he gains the following
|
|
benefits:
|
|
|
|
- He gains a +1 bonus to all his attack rolls with wrestling.
|
|
|
|
- He gains a +1 bonus to all damage rolls for a successful high
|
|
impact maneuver.
|
|
|
|
- He gains a +1 chart bonus with all wrestling attacks. The chart
|
|
bonus is a reflection of the character's superior accuracy with
|
|
wrestling. As already known, when the character successfully hits, the
|
|
roll itself determines which maneuver was used. But the specialist can
|
|
modify the result. With the +1 chart bonus, he can choose the maneuver
|
|
one higher or one lower on the chart.
|
|
|
|
- He gets to choose a strike, hold, and high impact maneuver that
|
|
becomes his own personal attacks. When his personal attacks are rolled,
|
|
double damage occurs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONTINUING SPECIALIZATION
|
|
|
|
Although other rules may state otherwise, any character of any
|
|
class may continue to devote slots to wrestling. For every additional
|
|
slot devoted, the wrestler gets the following benefits:
|
|
|
|
- He gains an additional +1 bonus to all his attack rolls with
|
|
wrestling.
|
|
|
|
- He gains an additional +1 bonus to all damage rolls for a
|
|
successful high impact maneuver.
|
|
|
|
- He gains an additional +1 chart bonus with all wrestling
|
|
attacks.
