Ok so I'm wondering, Why are the rules for Unarmed Combat training so disjointed? Unarmed combat to me should be all in one place per se. What I mean it should be its own section. So when taking lvls in Unarmed from the beginning players should have the options to pick their fighting style. It's not so much a specilization as a prefered style. At character gen all the styles should be available.
Not to mention I have several styles under my preverbial belt. I am trained in Tae Kwon Do/Chun Do Quan, Shorin Ryu Karate & Wing Chun Do. Runners should not have to "Specialize" in a specific style. I have techniques I have "mastered", if you will, at my level of training. I can even fight in each of the individual styles. I just think the unarmed skills need more definition. We have books that only cover Spells Weapons, Augmentations etc. but Fist fighting gets a page or three, and a few common weapons.
Take the Ninjitsu entry. There are many different foci to the art depending the Style learned. There are Weapon heavy Ninjas (which have their own sub specialists) and Stealth foci, lets not forget the bone breakers.
I realize that if a tome was dedacated to Unarmed combat it could get unweildly (I mean a 5 book set or more
) But I hope there is a book upcoming that will give love to us Pugelists! Not to mention I volenteer to help playtest!
