Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
Wow, that shot way off topic fast!
Back to the OP: the rule means they roll on 5D instead of the usual 4D. |

Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
So did we come to a concensus that the martial artist with UC I, II, or III should be able to use the 'defend' option using their bare hands?

Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
I like the approach Mike P suggests. The old ITL was clear, you could defend bare-handed at UCIII.
Also the old ITL was clear, defend UCIV means 5 dice to hit. |

Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
I don't know... the fact that UC I allows the character to strike bare-handed in "either HTH or regular combat" (in the new ITL) seems to imply that his hands are now treated as melee weapons and if that's true, then he should be able to use them to defend.

Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
Untalented melee strikes against adjacent hexes with bare hands are covered on page 122.
IQ 10 Unarmed Combat I(1) with the armor restrictions and +1 or +2 extra damage is better than IQ 7 Brawling(1) with no armor restrictions and +1 or +2 extra damage (and extra abilities) because of X. Solve for X please.

Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
Here's the old and new ITL rules for number of dice on rolls against defending UC types. I've also included all the proposals so far. I like V1 myself, but others like V2 and V3.
Code:
talent new ITL old ITL V1 V2 V3 UCI - - - - 4 UCII - - - 4 4 UCIII - 4 4 4 4 UCIV 5 5 5 5 5 UCV 6 7 6 6 6 |

Re: Defending with Unarmed Combat talents
Although RAW doesn't say this, I would be fine ruling that Brawling does NOT apply to regular melee combat; bonus is for HTH only.
