JADE - Unarmed Combat
Return to JADE Home Page
The following rules were written many years ago. I hope you find them useful.
Pumelling, Punching, Kicking
This is a standard attack, treated exactly as any other Melee Weapon. It does D2 points of damage.
Remember that in Jade the first 2 points of every blunt attack are Subdual Damage. For more details
of Subdual Damage look at the JADE - Rules Modifications.
Grappling
Normal Initiative - grapplers are weapon speed 1 (modified by size)
Successful Grapples inflict
- 1 plus STR Bonus damage in the first round
- 2 plus STR Bonus damage in the second round
- 3 plus STR Bonus damage in the third round
- 4 plus STR Bonus damage in the fourth round
- etc.
If attacker goes first
Attacker(s) roll to hit ignoring Armour
If the defender goes first
Following the normal Melee Attack, the defender may choose to Fend-Off one or more grapplers.
The Fend-Off is one or more additional Melee Attacks at normal chance to hit (-1 per extra attacker)
The Fend-Off causes no damage to the target unless the target chooses to IGNORE the Fend-Off and
continue with the Grapple attempt (in which case they take double maximum damage)
A successful Fend-Off prevents the target from any action that round.
On defender's Initiative he/she may do one of the following
- Attempt to Shrug-Off all Grapplers (see table below)
- Attempt to continue Melee at penalty to hit and damage equal to the total size of grapplers
- Attempt to cast a spell/use an Item which does not require Somatic components (ie. Gestures)
- Attempt to Grapple one of the grapplers
- Attempt to Fend-Off additional Grapplers (same penalties as Melee)
Chance to Shrug-Off Table (d100)
+/- 5% per difference in Levels/Hit Dice
+/- difference in Bend Bars %
+/- 5% per level for Monks and Talons
+/- 5% for each Unarmed Combat Weapon Proficiency Slot
+ 5% if defender has Tumbling Skill
If the Grappler(s) opt to Disarm or Throw, the Victim gets an additional chance to Shrug-Off.
