• Body Block/Tackle does 1D4 damage (double damage if wrestler is 8-12 feet (2.4-3.6m) tall, and 3D6 if larger still). The opponent must dodge or parry (push away/deflect attacker) to avoid being knocked down. If knocked down, opponent loses 1 melee attack/action and initiative for the rest of the round.
• Pin/Incapacitate on natural roll of 18-20. This means that the wrestler can hold their opponent in such a way that the opponent can not physically move or attack. However, the character who is using the 'pin' hold can not attack or move without releasing their opponent.
• Crush/Squeeze does 1D4 S.D.C. damage per squeeze attack (double damage if 8-12 feet (2.4-3.6m) tall, and 3D6 damage if larger still). Each 'squeeze' counts as one melee attack/action.
