Pummel

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.

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.

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

  • 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.
  • Success: You have managed to land one solid blow on your foe, and left them open for a follow-up. You inflict one die of unarmed damage to them, and may select one Good Thing from the list below.
  • Partial Success: You may choose one of the following:
    • You have managed to land one solid blow on your foe. You inflict one die of unarmed damage to them.
    • You decided to press your luck, and overextended. You inflict one die of unarmed damage to your foe. Select one Good Thing, and one Bad Thing.
  • Failure: Your strikes are parried or deflected. You inflict no damage.
  • Complete Failure: You managed to stumble into a bad position. You inflict no damage, and must select one Bad Thing from the list below.

Each die of unarmed damage is considered a separate attack, and damage dice are rolled in sequence, not as a group. Slight inflicted on damage dice due to armour is applied to each die separately.
