Information:

__NoTOC__ This fighting style isn’t a trained style. Promethean characters do not learn it so much as embrace the monster within, and use the monster’s pent-up rage to unleash brutal, powerful attacks. This so-called style is particularly common among Frankenstein and Tammuz Prometheans, but all Created possess Torment. Even when Torment isn’t affecting the Promethean at a specific moment, he always possesses it as a dormant but persistent fury. {{HR|This Fighting Style has been edited from its original, Printed Version in the book[[ Strange Alchemies]], in order to better balance the fighting Style. Please note this when purchasing this Fighting Style.}} ===Body Blow (●):=== Your character can deliver powerful blows that leave opponents reeling and gasping for air. If successes inflicted in a single Brawl attack equal or exceed a target's Size, the victim loses his next action. '''Note: Body Blow is Passive and can combine with other Fighting Style Maneuvers''' {{HR|The attack must exceed the '''greater''' of Size or Stamina.}} ===Juggernaut (●●):=== The character uses his entire body as a weapon. He barrels forward, smashing his head into his opponent and throwing the rest of his weight into the attack. This is an “all-out attack” per p. 157 of the World of Darkness Rulebook. The character foregoes his Defense, but gains a +4 bonus to the roll as opposed to the normal +2 bonus. Normal all-out attack rules apply. ===Crush and Bite (●●●):=== This maneuver is used only during a successfully maintained grapple. If the character succeeds on a grapple with his opponent, he may perform two attacks. (The character needn’t truly “crush and bite,” and may instead choke, head-butt, and/or even smother.) ===Bone Cracker (●●●●):=== This maneuver is used only during a successfully maintained grapple. The character grabs a foe’s limb with both hands, twisting as if wringing water from a dish rag. This is a targeted attack, and is made at –2 dice (due to targeting an arm or leg). If the attack does damage equal to or exceeding the target's [[Pool::Strength]] + Stamina, however, the bone breaks and the damage becomes lethal. A broken bone also forces the target to lose a dot of Dexterity until those lethal levels heal. Lowered Dexterity also takes away from the target’s Initiative modifier, Speed, and possibly Defense. '''Drawback:''' Spend one [[Willpower]] point to activate this attack. This point does not confer three additional dice to the attack. Also, both hands must be free for the attack to be successful. {{Links|Fighting Styles}}{{characteristics}}
