Contests of Strength

[GreenGhost]

I came across a situation that doesn't happen very often in the games that I GM. I was running a BTS game when a character got into a contest of strength; holding an opponent by the wrists and pinning him down under water. We had a temporary solution that worked for tonight's game, but I was wondering where the rules could be found for contests of strength or what type of house rules are out there.

Thanks!

Do house rules count?

In Rifts Ultimate Edition p345 has Holds in the Combat Terms & Moves. Also look at the Body Block/Tackle for really large, really strong (supernatural PS) combatants.

They're also in Heroes Unlimited 2e p67-68.

Nice. I have both books and I'll check them out. Thanks!
