Preface

Unlike other physical mastery, body combat uses the body itself as a weapon. If the user can get into the target's touch range, they can do great damage to their enemy. This is one of the most difficult combat techniques to master due to its reliance on mobility.

Body Combat specializes in powerful kicks, punches, and other martial arts' techniques in conjunction with fist weapons.

Strengths: Mobility, attacking humanoid, disruptive attacks
Weaknesses: Extremely limited range, attacking heavily armored targets, or those with solid coating (scale, stone, etc)

Weapon Types

Bare Fists (Pair: Two-handed) These aren't really weapons at all, but are often a supportive bandage on the user's bare hands or underneath their gloves.
Fist Weapons (Pair: Two-handed) Including claws, katar, and more, these weapons provide more way to damage the target on top of the body-based movesets.
Gauntlets (Pair: Two-handed) These metal gloves provide minor protection, but more importantly, it is used for the damage. When equipping a gauntlet, the hand armor visually disappears.
Great Gauntlets (Pair: Two-handed; can only be used at expert) With its massive size and weight, the user will be able to deal much more damage, but at the cost of speed and general mobility.
