Unarmed

Unarmed Melee Weapon

Nothing like beating the life out of them with your bare fists!

Damage: 5-9 (Mechanical)

Impact speed: Very Low

Base action points: 10 AP

Range: Melee

Critical chance: 5%

Critical damage bonus: 100%

Bypasses 100% of target's energy shield. Damage increased by 5% for every point in strength above 5.

Incurs 140% of mechanical damage resistance and threshold.

The Unarmed combat style is directly supported by some feats and psionic abilities, making it a viable option along with other, more powerful weapons.

However, feats that work while unarmed also generally work with Combat Gloves. Unarmed has the advantage of bypassing energy shields entirely, unlike fist weapons which bypass only 80%.
