So put 10 in wrestling, and 10 in biting, rest in dodge and swimming (at least that's what I do, another build is just biting and dodge with lil in swimming). Does wrestling effect biting when you are using it to shake them under the wrestle menu?
So far using wrestling to knock them unconscious then proceeding to bite off there head is a very quick way to kill someone and how cool is it to be known as a man/dwarf who bites off heads of his victims (then eats them)
for real, discuss
Interesting, but from my experience dodging is disabled whenever you have a hold on someone, which kinda makes sense, as moving away might break the hold anyway (unless you are stretch armstrong). I'd go shield user. Sure, you loose a hand for holds and have to be more careful about your positioning, but it's better than getting hit constantly.
I had a similar adventurer that would choke, then just bash em over the head with shield (pretty sure that is misc obj). It kills humanoids surprisingly well, and I don't think I ever had a glance off helm, though I might have been lucky. It also seemed to cause spinal damage and weapon/shield drop about 70% of the time if it didn't insta-kill. It's not horribly useful unless they manage to wake up, but it's still cool. Wrestling/shield didn't seem very useful against larger creatures though, other than as a disarm/distraction to let any companions do their work. Spear is a much better option for such things. I don't think biting could do deep enough damage, though it'd be better than shield bashing.
