And, so a 1 point of damage injury in the head can stun you or even knock you out if it is a critical failure or if the margin of failure is 5 or more (see page 420). |

Re: Basic Set Unarmed Combat boxing questions
Well, it's outright stated in the Harsh Realism for Unarmed Fighters box on MA124, for one thing.

But nothing in the rules says you have to step just before your attack or just after your attack… You are not even enforced to step at all. It is just an option. The turn begins when you choose your maneuver and ends when you choose your next maneuver, doesn't it? So, if the movement is part of the maneuver, the defense is part of the maneuver, too. The maneuver governs your defenses as well as your move… It is even written exactly with the same typo: “Movement: …”, “Active Defense: …” So, to my mind, it is linked. Quote:
But, as I wrote it, it is just a point of view. My point of view. And a lot of people can disagree, of course, because I agree with you: this is not rule as they are explicitly written. Just an interpretation. I can be completely wrong, of course. But I do believe that my point of view remains coherent. |

Re: Basic Set Unarmed Combat boxing questions
Indeed it is, sir. I think this is a house rule that could be great success, if a bit complex in terms of keeping track of step use.

But note than when you all-out attack, you can only move forward (up to half your move), which prevent you to retreat in most of cases. When you move and attack, you cannot any more retreat. A possible interpretation: you have use all your move and then cannot anymore move. Having said that, reading again the first sentence of the rules about retreat, I see clearly: “ “Retreat” is not a seperate defense but an option than you may add to any active defense against a melee attack.” So, I may be wrong, I may be wrong… |
