<strong>Hand</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Hand</strong>: Boxing<br />

By Brett Hegr<br />

Gladia<strong>to</strong>rs, cyborgs, headhunters, and mercenaries are the most common practitioners of this combat<br />

style. Obviously, it is the skill of boxing rounded out <strong>to</strong> include a wider range of punches for a better<br />

attack capability. It doesn't have the versatility of Expert, the kick attacks of <strong>Martial</strong> <strong>Arts</strong>, or the<br />

grappling skills of Wrestling. However, a skilled boxer can quickly batter single opponents <strong>to</strong> the point<br />

where those shortcomings aren't even relevant. The defense ability of this combat style is unmatched<br />

in American combat styles.<br />

Skill Cost: Equivalent <strong>to</strong> <strong>Hand</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Hand</strong>: Karate, Jujutsu, or Commando. It costs one more "other" skill<br />

than <strong>Hand</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Hand</strong>: <strong>Martial</strong> <strong>Arts</strong>.<br />

Skill Requirements: Must know the Physical: Boxing skill.
