Description

Brawl covers unarmed combat and natural/improvised weapons — punches, kicks, grapples, and attacks made with claws, tusks, or brass knuckles rather than a proper weapon.

Common Uses

  • Punching, kicking, or grappling an opponent
  • Attacking with natural weapons (claws, teeth) for species that have them
  • Using improvised unarmed strikes in a bar fight
  • Attacks made with brass knuckles or similar close-fitting weapons

Notes

Brawl is distinct from Melee — Melee is for actual handheld weapons like vibroswords or batons.
