====== Pummel ======
{{tag>activity attack main_action}}

You unleash a flurry of unarmed blows, using your fists, feet, or physical force to overwhelm an opponent. This activity targets a creature within your reach.

**Unarmed Damage**:  Unless otherwise indicated, a character inflicts 1d6 Blunt damage in unarmed combat.

**Separate Attacks**: Each die of unarmed damage inflicted by Pummel is resolved as a separate attack. Roll each damage die in sequence, rather than rolling all damage dice together. Any Slight imposed on damage dice by armour is applied to each die separately.

**Roll+BOD**.  This is an attack roll, and as such suffers any favour or slight you have assigned to your attack rolls.  If your opponent is using a weapon or shield, your attack roll suffers slight.
  * **Complete Success**:  You have managed to land two solid blows on your foe, and left them open for a follow-up.  You inflict two dice of unarmed damage to them, and may select one Good Thing from the list below.
