  * **Requirements:** Kraken Style, [[chargen:common_terms#core_stats|CST]] 8,  [[priority:skills:athletics|Athletics]] 8, [[priority:skills:acrobatics|Acrobatics]] 8, 25 EXP

The damage that you deal with the Kraken Style Talent on a successful grapple combat maneuver check increases to an amount equal to your [[game_systems:tactic_pool|Secondary Attribute modifier]] + 2.

While using this style, you can choke your opponent when you successfully maintain a grapple instead of choosing to damage, move, pin, or tie up your opponent. This suffocates your opponent. The grappled opponent can take a breath during any round in which you do not maintain the grapple.
