Head

The head is not technically a hit location, but it contains the Skull, Eyes, and Face, all of which are fairly vulnerable to knockdown and stunning. As such, it's easier to simply say "don't get hit in the head!"

Technical Grappling

The head has 0.8 x ST (not trained ST) and it is allowed to make Break Free attempts on its own, using trained DX from any unarmed skill.

Presumably this includes an Escaping Parry combination of a chin tuck parry with a free Break Free attempt if successful.

Error 404: Head Not Found

Some creatures (such as box-shaped mimics, or the mythical Headless Men) simply have no head.
