Combat Example using The Terminator

True. The question would then be, "would the Terminator get a bonus if he picked up a roll of quarters?" I would say, no. His fist is already benifiting from any additional bonus a roll of quarters would give him. So yes I do think he should have a similar perk. I will look up improvised weapons when I get home for the damage bonus. In the large scale it will not make a very big difference, but it does make the Terminator a bit more dangerous in close combat.

Yep. The numbers should all still be correct. I just need to change HT to HP. Thank you.

You are not misremembering. His hand was covered in blood, but I am giving this over to cinimatic license. If useing the bleeding rules the punk will be dead very shortly (and as I have been reminded many times on the forum, most people die of bleed-out not direct damage.)

Thank you very much. I love all the comments I am getting! It really makes me think about the rules, and how they apply to fun and creative games.
