Unarmed Combat Talents -- Questions about their application
My first question is very general. The results of the discussion will guide subsequent questions.
with the exception of UC I, UC II through UC V separately calls out Punch, Kick, Throw, and Evade options. Are these options all simultaneously active per having these talents? More specifically, do the Evade bonuses apply automatically or does the holder of the talent have to actively evade and do nothing else that turn? In my past play in ancient times, these options within the talents were interpreted as being active at all times as long as it met with the proper encounter sequence. It made up the difference for not being able to be heavily armored or dealing out larger amounts of damage. Is this correct in the new ITL? |

Re: Unarmed Combat Talents -- Questions about their application
I've taken "Evade" and "Bonus to defend" as passive advantages that are active at all times, including with a full MA move. Note that these only apply to front hexes so offer no benefit to fallen or HTH figures.
Note that both of these "options" include a "If you take the Defend option" at higher levels for additional benefits above the base bonus.

Next Question. The UC Talents state that these abilities are active if one is not wearing more armor than cloth and hands are empty. It would seem that a cestus or knife would be an exception to that. Is that true? |

I need to go back and study ITL some more. UC can be complicated. |
