Head Lock

Defaults: Judo-3 or Wrestling-3.
Prerequisite: Judo or Wrestling; cannot exceed prerequisite skill.
A head lock is a grappling attack used to control the opponent's head and neck, using at least two arms. This skill can be used in place of regular ST, allowing high-skill combatants to choke much more powerful foes. A Head Lock can be used as a set-up to a throw, as seen in Throws from Locks.
Sports-wrestling locks that avoid actual injury don't need Head Lock--treat them as a simple head- or neck-grapple.
