Martial Throw

[Gary]

Does a character have to use enough Str (and the corresponding End) so that his pushed Str is enough to lift the target when conducting a Martial Throw? For example, a MA with 30 Str can normally Throw a target with up to 6 levels of Growth/Density. If facing such a target, can he use 10 Str to Throw the target, to conserve on End?

 

It could matter greatly if the MA has 10 base Str with +20 Str at x10 End cost...

When using a Throw-based maneuver, a character must use a minimum of enough STR to lift the target. However, he may, with the GM’s permission, use his STR only to “lift,” not to cause damage (though he still has to pay END for the STR when doing this, of course).
