Re: Unarmed Combat - Question on UC v.
I have some important questions on UC v.
It gives awesome defensive abilities, but can those abilities be used if you are armed? Can you be wearing any armor and use it? The talent does not actually say. In my campaign I ruled that to use this talent you have to have at least one hand empty. I also say UC v can be used while wearing any armor. If Steve could answer these questions, I would appreciate it. Warm regards, Rick. Last edited by Rick_Smith; 07-10-2018 at 03:22 PM. |

Otherwise the following example could happen: A moves over a body and trips. B voluntarily drops to a prone position. C attacks D, who takes 8 points of damage and falls, barely alive. D's turn comes, and he gets right back up. A and B, just for going to prone, get no action. Next turn: A and B have to take the turn getting up. D stood up last turn and can take an action. |

Being knocked down and actions.
Quote:
In my campaign, if you are knocked down (with one exception), and you have not used your action, you may change your action to 'stand up'. If you have used your action, then next turn you may stand up during movement. The exception is if you are knocked down due to damage. In that case, you lose your action this turn (if unspent), and next turn, you must stand up during the option phase. This makes being knocked down due to damage, scary. Warm regards, rick. |

The intent was to require two empty hands. Will edit. Again, if a fully armed and armored fighter defeats a martial artist, that's how it should be except maybe Bruce Lee UC V. zot - What is RAW? I am going to paste together a document of my current thoughts on UC skills. |

I agree with your post generally, but standing up and reading a weapon are two different actions. So you would stand up, and NEXT turn, ready your weapon. While you are standing around for a turn, unarmed, the wizard could hit you with her staff and then cast Trip again next turn. That said, I do not see where the Trip spell says you drop your weapons when you are tripped. We have never played it that way. (So my argument above is mooted.) ;-D (Even under reactions to Injury if you take 8 hits, it does not say you drop your weapons.) Warm regards, Rick. |

OK, that makes sense to me. And, it does seem like getting knocked down ought be worse than just shifting one hex. |

My question was could I have a Nunchuck in one hand, have the other hand empty (free), and still use the UC v defensive abilities? But you have answered the question, thank you! Warm regards, Rick. |

Re: Unarmed Combat - Question on UC v.
Well it's canonical that Bruce Lee could do anything with a pair of nunchuks in each hand...
