With this charm, the martial artist grasps her opponent like a well planted tree that locks their roots into the earth and more than capable of crushing stones. The grasp of the martial artist is like that of a tree’s roots and just as hard to break or escape from.
The martial artist does a grapple attack that is resolved as normal. All damage resulting from the clinch while this charm is active becomes lethal instead of bashing. The martial artist may maintain the charm as long as she wishes, gaining the damage enhancement to her maintained clinch as well as an additional bonus of 2 die to any rolls needed to maintain the clinch.
The martial artist may disguise this attack as deadly handshakes or grips of a more… friendly and intimate nature. After all, most people won’t expect a lethal attack disguised as a greeting or sexual endervours.
