Melee Skill/Weapon questions
@Main-Gauche Skill
Is there anything that the Knife skill can do that the Main-Gauche skill can't? @Kakute (MA227) If the hero wears Kakute on both hands and grapples two handed does the bonus vs. break free stack? Or is the default assumption that Kakute are worn on both hands? @Rokushaku Kama (MA 222) Does this still use the staff skill? If yes, should a -1 penalty to hit apply as for the Qian Kun Ri Yue Dao?

Secondly other none-fencing weapons default better to Knife (if they default to M-G at all). Thirdly you can use a Long knife with the knife skill. With Sw-1 cutting damage it deals better damage than any of the M-G weapons. Last edited by Maz; 12-26-2007 at 01:24 PM. |

And there's definitly a penalty when using your primary hand to use a skill you learned with your left hand. I can crochet (or used to) with a lefthand method, but if I switch the sticks I get all hockie pooky.

But then, the same could be said for brawling vs. the other unarmed skills. I think it might be more a matter of availability. Does the skill even exist in the setting? Either because it simple hasn't been 'invented' yet or is not used by your culture. for instance I doubt M-G is used much around the year 900. Edit: Blood Legend. No not according to the text in MA p.58. |

@The first answer: Does this mean the Tonfa skill cannot be used to bash a foe with a short baton?
