[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7620531, member: 58172"] Yeah, I guess. Maybe for the sake of simplicity, ANY grappling maneuver can attack or defend via whichever is higher, Dexterity or Strength. So, Dexterity can ‘Push’ by means of a judo flip or so on, and ‘hold’ by grabbing a sensitive place like a finger. I have in mind that there are only four abilities (or at least only four ‘active’ abilities). So, attack uses Strength or Dexterity +d20, and defense uses Strength or Dexterity +10. It occurs to me, size should count as armor. Human Medium size and smaller normally relies on Dexterity augmented by armor, for defense. However, Huge and Gargantuan are difficult to hit because these puny little weaklings dont really matter relative to these larger sizes. Consider Giant and Dragon, finding sword attacks to be more a nuisance than an injury, like biting ants. So, a character can defend against weapons using either defense: Dexterity (to dodge) or Strength (to shrug off), whichever is higher. [/QUOTE]
