- Tier 5: 100xp
- Prerequisites: Grandmaster rank Grapple, Kraken’s Undertow
While in this stance you may choose to enhance your Kraken’s Grip ability. While performing Kraken’s Grip and maintaining a Grapple on a target that you are suffocating, you may choose to crush your target’s throat with a successful Grapple check. Upon doing so even if you release your target, you continue to suffocate them for a number of rounds equal to your Attribute modifier that you use for the Grapple skill + half of your Rank Bonus in Grapple. However, upon performing this action you immediately exit Kraken Stance.
