SOM-style Combat Maneuvers

[C5]

I don't see much to comment, apart from saying that it's really good!

The rules for the Fu Kyu would have been quite useful in a SW game we played some time ago BTW. I'll keep them at hand, one never knows

Now if someone could do a nice PDF of all of this, it would be perfect

FU KYU (tm)
The venerable martial art of the Socttish Highlands (ah...home...) This style of fighting has been used since time immemorial...or at least the last time you remembered you were in a fight. Last week, was it..? Ah, hell, gimme another McEwans.
Upperchuck
This is one of the first maneuvers learned by any good Scot. Drink a bit, then surprise your opponent by vomitting violently on him.
PREREQUISITE: Fu Kyu +1 or brawling or a failed stamina roll vs. booze.
EFFECT: Used as a defense. Covered in your vomitus and distracted by the inevitable diced carrots and tomato skins in the the material (no matter what you had to eat), you gain immediate initiative for the next round.
UPGRADE: A successful attack means the opponent rolls versus a light stun, or is rooted in disgust for 1d3 rounds by the improbability of what just happened.
The 22-ounce
Point to something across the room. Pick up the nearest drinking utensil. Apply to opponent's head. Repeat as needed.
PREREQUISITE: Fu Kyu +2
EFFECT: Success requires the opponent to roll vs. a light stun (for a standard pint bottle) or medium stun (if a 22-ounce glass, tankard, scotch bottle, or small dog) or be one with the floor for 1d6 rounds.
UPGRADE: You didn't even break the glass and can still drink what's left in it.
Headbutt
The classic Scottish maneuver. Implant you forehead in his mug.
PREREQUISITE: Fu Kyu +4
EFFECT: Do normal damage and the opponent rolls vs. light stun or drops out cold for the number of rounds of damage you did. If you fail the roll, you take the damage.
UPGRADE: What more do you want? Egg in your beer?
Kick 'em When They're Down
Whaddya mean it's cheating?
PREREQUISITE: Fu Kyu +4
EFFECT: Makes you feel good. Success adds +2 damage to the opponent, +4 on a superior success, +6 on an extraordinary.
UPGRADE: He doesn't throw up on your shoes.
Hammer Toss
What did you think all those Scottish games thinkgs are about? Throw something really heavy at the bugger.
PREREQUISITE: Fu Kyu +6 or Throwing +4 and STR 8+
EFFECT: Hurts like hell. Damage 2d6
UPGRADE: You could throw something heavier...

A variant style is UPYERS, an Irish form.

In your rush for comedic effects, you seemed to miss another useful ability with this one;

Stand There Smiling
Some say that you can take a hit. Its true, while your opponent hammers away with his innecectual punches, you simply smile and wait for him to look up at you before delivering your right hook to his glass jaw.
PREREQUISITE: Fu Kyu +2 Health 10+
EFFECT: Ignores Stun tests in a punch-up
UPGRADE: Ignores Dazed/injured Damage Modifier in a punch-up.

Just wanted to say thanks for the pdf qerlin.
You did a great job on these martial arts styles and I think it's safe to say they will be appearing in the Triangle campaign soon.
