Brawling

[zot]

I still haven't seen an answer to: can you combine brawling and UC?

If they are truly different techniques, Bruce Lee would certainly combine them.

If you have both skills, then where they have different bonuses you could use them both. Is that what you mean?

Also, someplace you asked about bare hands damage scaling with ST. Are you perhaps remembering something in GURPS?

Hi Steve,
Yes, we are asking, "if you have both Brawling AND UC talents, then their bonuses do add?"

On Advance Melee page 21, there is a table where you do more damage with your fist as you get stronger. I found it too generous, and suggested a table with a slower rate of increase elsewhere in these forums. (Basically at 20 ST, fists were doing 1 die damage, not 1d+1 or 1d+2 at ST 21.)

it seemed you were saying that TFT fighters do a flat 1d-4 with their fists, in the thread for the new UC talents. Given that the UC talents gave such high bonuses to damage, people were wondering are fists are now limited to 1d-4?

EDIT:
If you do want to keep the table where fists do more damage with ST, perhaps is should be adjusted that the damage rises more slowly, reaching 1 die of damage at 30 ST?

Warm regards, Rick.

This table is also for clubs. in the RAW, a giant with ST 30 does a whopping 2+5 damage with a maul. Which is as it should be -- it's a giant with a maul! Run away!

Nerfing this to just 1+4 damage... well that giant just doesn't sound scary at all anymore...
