Melee (unarmed) damage?
« on: 26 September 2013, 00:53:38 »
I must have missed something in the rules. How much damage does the martial arts skill do?

0M/0D. It does fatigue damage only and starts at 0. You then add your strength bonus as per any other melee weapon and the 1pt per 4 MOS. High skill means high MOS which translates into higher damage for more skilled MA.

Nope, standard melee mod is 1pt per 4 STR, round up. A STR 4 does 1 fatigue, 5-8 does 2 and so on. It's on pg 180 of AToW.

Oh, damn. Okay. Thanks for the page number. I'll re-read that section.
