Increases your hand-to-hand combat ability.
This Mortal skill increases your Hand to Hand attack skill by 20%. It also improves the chance of success for touch attack spells.
This is a reasonable choice for new characters wishing to gain experience through combat. The potential damage per Action Point is lower than what can be achieved with swords or guns, but hand-to-hand damage can improved later with the Boxing skill. Also, characters that specialize in hand-to-hand combat do not need to worry about maintaining damaged weapons.
"Get up, laddie." The elder man crowed to his sparring partner, "Y'did well, for a lad, but you've still got a lot t'learn about brawlin'."
The younger man stood up, the blood streaming from his nose and staining his vest. "Yeah? Like what?"
"First rule o' fightin'," the bareknuckled elder said, holding up a finger: "Hit the other sod hard, an' keep doin' it 'til he falls down."
"What's the second rule?" The other man asked.
Two thick, strong fingers held up. "Second rule o' fightin': Dun let the other guy apply rule one."
