[QUOTE="Mista Collins, post: 1084101, member: 13089"] She could of done it with the rules in hand (pun intended). Now bare with me as I try and break this down. She is trying the following: 1. Attacking with both of her hands (in order to grab two heads) 2. Hold onto the heads 3. Smash them together Here are some rules that might help: 1. She would be attacking unarmed (those provoking AoO) 2. She is attacking with two weapons (two hands) thus receiving a -6 penalty and a -8 penalty (off hand weapon is light). 3. Since it is a grapple she would make two touch attacks. Here some house rules I would use: 1. The touch attack AC is a little higher because she is going for the head and the head is smaller than the halfling's. In a since she is doing a called shot. I would rule the head of a halfling is tiny, since the halfling is small. 2. I would have the halflings do opposed strength (or grapple) checks. The Half-orc would only get 1/2 her strength mod on the second one because it is her off-hand. 3. The damage would be greater than a normal unarmed strike. (1d6+Orc's strength mod) 4. If she beat only one halfling's opposed strength (or grapple) check she would do 1d3 points of damage This might be how I would handle it. It sounds very cinematic and i would not tell a player he/she could not attempt it because that would ruin the fun. I let a halfling character attempt to shove a flask of acid down a troll's troat once. It was fun to watch the troll start screaming when his insides were melting away. :D BC [/QUOTE]
