GURPSよろず

Blinding your foe is an effective tactic – but while the eyes are fragile, they’re also too small for most strikes to get at them effectively. Eye-Gouging (p. 71) is one solution but hardly the only one!
All of these close-combat strikes require an empty hand. If one of them hits and the target fails to defend, the victim must roll vs. Will. Any failure means he flinches and has -1 to attack and defense rolls until the end of his next turn, in addition to the technique’s other effects.

Eye-Pluck*
Hard
Defaults: Brawling-10 or Karate-10.
Prerequisite: Brawling or Karate; cannot exceed prerequisite skill-4.

This cinematic technique involves using the clawed fingers of one hand to grab an enemy’s eye and pull it out. It’s a strike, not a grapple. You can try it repeatedly but you can’t “hold onto” your enemy’s eye. Roll against Eye-Pluck to hit.
Damage is thrust-3 crushing, plus your Brawling or Karate bonus. Injury over HP/10 cripples the eye. Any excess is lost. The difference between this and Eye-Poke is that if you cripple the eye, your victim must make an immediate HT roll. Failure means you pluck out his eye – a permanent crippling injury! See p. B422.
If your foe’s Size Modifier exceeds yours by +5 or more, his eye is too big for you to grab and your Eye-Pluck counts only as an Eye-Poke.

Eye-Poke
Hard
Defaults: Boxing-9, Brawling-9, or Karate-9.
Prerequisite: Boxing, Brawling, or Karate; cannot exceed prerequisite skill-4.

This is a jab to the eye using an extended finger. It can blind but it never gets the ×4 wounding modifier for the skull (compare Lethal Eye-Poke, below). Roll against Eye-Poke to hit.
A hit inflicts thrust-3 crushing damage. Injury over HP/10 cripples the eye. Any excess is lost. A miss by 1 strikes the protective bone around the eye, damaging the face instead – but as you’re hitting bone, skull DR (usually DR 2) protects. Hurting Yourself (p. B379) applies if your target has any DR, not just DR 3+, or if you hit bone.
Due to the risk of finger injury, many fighters pull this blow (see Subduing a Foe, p. B401). Little damage is needed to cripple an eye in any event!

Eye-Rake
Hard
Defaults: Brawling-5 or Karate-5.
Prerequisite: Brawling or Karate; cannot exceed prerequisite skill.

This technique attempts to blind the foe by scratching a clawed hand across his face and eyes. It’s easier than most strikes to the eyes because you’re using a broad striking surface against a large target (the upper face), but actual injury is superficial at best.
On a successful hit, roll thrust-1 crushing damage. However, this isn’t a hard strike and normally inflicts no injury. Instead, the victim must make a HT roll at a penalty equal to the damage that penetrates DR. Failure means he’s blinded for 1 minute times his margin of failure. Critical failure means one eye suffers HP/10 of real injury (round down) and is crippled!

Lethal Eye-Poke*
Hard
Default: Karate-11.
Prerequisite: Karate; cannot exceed Karate-5.

This is an attempt to drive an extended finger through an eye socket and into the brain. Treat it as Targeted Attack (Karate Lethal Strike/Eye) for all purposes. It inflicts thrust-2 piercing damage, plus Karate bonuses. It can blind and gets the ×4 wounding modifier for the skull – just like any other piercing attack. With sufficient damage, it can kill.
