Rag doll ... As in throw round like one

Is it right that ground control is stacking in this way?
For the damage it does, the lag it can do, stacking maledictions seems a bit much. This was from one successful owaza and 3 throw ground controls. (IE every ground control maledicted)

-31 dex from ground control
-6 strength

Spell: 'bless' modifies save vs spell by -4 for 20 hours.
Spell: 'bless' modifies hit roll by 2 for 20 hours.
Spell: 'protection from good' for 18 hours.
Song: 'canticle of the gods' modifies save vs spell by -9 for 18 hours.
Song: 'canticle of the gods' modifies hit roll by 5 for 18 hours.

There appears to have been a bug in the logic for ground control--which may have been in place for a very long time. I have updated it to work the way I believe it is supposed to work.

The one update we may need to make for the HELP file is that you can get up to 2 ground control affects: one if your arm is hyper-extended and one if your elbow is hyper-extended. But at that point it should max out.

that one of them is -str and the other -dex?

Also, does that mean that after the first crippling control the rest will always be strikes to the ribs/kicks to the face and thus more likely to permalag?

The two non-repeatable actions are -dex. Owaza can flag someone with a -str affect that is also marked as GC.

You'll just have hyperextensions that don't maladict.

I feel it would be worth updating the help file:

Once a joint has been hyperextended, further ground controls will
not be possible to this person until they have healed. If the ground
control executed is a strike, however, further ground controls are
possible upon additional successful throws.

The help file does hint that once a hyperextension has landed (regardless of location) that no more of these strikes are possible.
So perhaps replace the above with:

Two types of joint hyperextension are possible, shoulder or elbow, once
a specific joint has been hyper extended, further ground controls will
not be possible to this joint until it has healed. If the ground
control executed is a strike, however, further ground controls are
possible upon additional successful throws.

We'd have to think about how to add the Owaza information I note above.

Fair point!

Remove ground control from Owaza? Just kidding.

So perhaps replace the above with (Essentially just breaking it out
into the two technique types ... I have no idea if I am even in the
ballpark with how Owaza works tho):

When the opponent is thrown, two types of joint hyper-extension are
possible, shoulder or elbow, once a joint has been hyper-extended,
further ground controls will not be possible to this joint until
it has healed. If the ground control executed is a strike, further
ground controls are possible upon additional successful throws.

When an owaza technique is applied to the opponent two further
variations of joint hyper-extension are possible, shoulder or elbow,
once a joint has been hyper-extended, further ground controls will
not be possible to this joint until it has healed. If the ground
control executed is a strike, further ground controls are possible
upon additional successful throws.
