Tango "I'll be leading this dance."

2
You possess superhuman unarmed combat ability.
Used by Maze, Created by Ricterx.

Maze has picked up a small amount of combat abilities due to his excursions beyond his own world. Yet, even with his inexperience, he's able to barely seem like he's even moving to deliver strikes, grapples, or attacks. He even positions himself in a manner that attacks swing wide or purposefully aims for the held target if he has someone in his paws.


You gain the following benefits as long as Atlas is active and you are engaged in unarmed combat.

+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +0 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your Attacks. Attacking materials like steel or spikes will not Damage you unless it has an Effect that does so.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Finesse: When Attacking a single being, you may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.
  • Meat Shield: If you have successfully grappled a target, you may use a Reaction to redirect any incoming attack to them instead of you.
  • One Inch Punch: You may make a full attack against any target you can touch, even if you are restrained. To an observer, you hardly move. In a crowded area, determining that you were the source of an attack requires a Perception + Alertness roll with an Outcome of 4.

  • Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.
