Grabbing hit locations

[Sean Waters]

Dear Mr Long:

Looked but could not see an answer...

If you target a grab against a target's head/neck, do you get the advantage of multiplied damage for targetting the head/neck (2x N Stun, 2x Body) each time you apply damage as part of the same hold?

Thanks

A character who Grabs a specific Hit Location (usually the Head/Neck) obtains the Hit Location benefits of enhanced damage with every attack for which the Attack Roll takes the Hit Location penalty (-8 for Head/Neck). For example, if a character declares he’s going to Grab a target’s Head (-8 OCV, x2 STUN and BODY damage) and hits, he does the x2 STUN and BODY damage for that one attack (i.e., the damage he can immediately apply that Phase). In later Phases, when he must make further Attack Rolls, he does not get the damage enhancement unless he declares that he’s continuing to try to target the Head and continues to make his Attack Rolls at the -8 OCV penalty.
