I don't know for sure but I'd hazard a guess that's supposed to be Unarmed Attack Rating.

It's clearly not Agi+Unarmed, it's clearly not Str+Unarmed, and it's also not Str+Agi+Unarmed. It could be Agi+Unarmed x str or the reverse.

Why use a sword in 5e? The most common answer was Weapon Foci. You couldn't make a gun weapon focus. Are weapon foci a thing in 6e?

no, that's the attack rating ... defense is still Body+Armor

Why would Rude ever use the sword beside RP?why would you have used a sword over the predator in earlier editions?only book I have currently available to check is 5E ... assuming a strength of 5 or less the sword is less accurate and does the same damage or less

Reach (if that is still a thing). Weapon Focus for more attack dice (if Weapon Foci work like previous editions). Physical damage instead of Stun. Strength dump stat, but don't want a monowhip. Punching Fire Spirits really hurts. Specialization / Focus /Whatever the 6th edition thing is called doesn't work for Unarmed much like it didn't in 5th. Mostly RPees.

Katanas and swords are less concealable then a Predator III, and have higher cost and avaliability. You need a Str 6 with a katana, and Str 7 with a sword to match the damage of the Predator.AKA, don't bring a sword to a gun fight. Bring it to look bad-ass when meeting the Yakuza!

Bring it to look bad-ass when meeting the Yakuza!Though if you had a 9 strength it was hitting for 12m. Depending on edition you might have dikote to make it S damage. At that point it’s cool and effective. Which imo works. Guns generally should be better but for superhuman characters them getting more bang out if melee also works. From what we’ve seen so far even people superhumanly strong are less effective with a sword than a heavy pistol. I don’t consider that a good thing. People say don’t bring a sword to a gun fight and for normal people that’s valid. Though Superman would be ridiculously less effective with a pistol. While SR characters aren’t on that scale of superhuman they are still superhuman they move faster, close distances in a blink of an eye and can hit harder than most guns. If built for it melee should be incredibly deadly. When you can run 60mph and kick bank vault doors off their hinges how effective melee is for you is on a slightly different scale than our reality. Sure at long ranged none of that matters but in a office complex you probably aren’t at long ranges very often.
