I'm curious how effective it is in combat. I find that most unarmed attackers are dogmeat in fantasy games. They attack, get parried, the defender makes his roll and gets in his free damage. They tend to get hacked up on the armed character's turn and on then on their turn when they try to attack.

Of course they can use Deceptive Attack, Feint, flanking, etc. but generally there is a steady chance of effectively self-inflicted injury.

So how does your 500 point wolf avoid that?
