Cost: 8 
[[Ability]] Type: [[Attack]] 
Related [[Skill]]: [[Melee Combat]] 
Prerequisites: Melee Combat 5 and [[Improved Grapple]] 

You are sufficiently skilled at [[Wrestling Moves|wrestling-style martial arts moves]] that you can both immobilise and damage your opponent by forcing one of their limbs into a painful hold. Holds function exactly as [[Grapple]]s but suffer an initial -2 [[AM]] and optionally inflict [[Internal]] damage equal to your [[Stats|Strength]] on the held limb.

If you held your opponent in a Grapple or Hold during the preceding turn, you may ignore the -2 AM for a Hold attack (effectively this cancels out the +2 AM granted for continuing an ongoing Grapple however). As with Grapple, a successful Hold attack limits its target's physical actions to Grapple, [[Throw]], [[Escape]], Hold, [[Headbutt]], [[Trip]] or [[Knee]] – but a Hold additionally penalises the AM of Throw by -1, Grapple, Escape, Hold and Trip by -2 and Headbutt and Knee by -3.
