Unarmed Combat


Anaximander

Question

I have been though every book I have, but I still have no idea what the unarmed combat weapon familiarity.  It doesn't seem to me that it should be necessary just to throw a punch.  The only thing I can think it might be used for is if a character is trying a martial maneuver that the character doesn't have.  I would appreciate an answer.  Thank you!

I assume you're referring to the Barehanded Weapon Element. (If not, please post a follow-up and explain further so I can answer your question.) It's discussed on page 90 of HERO System Martial Arts. It's not necessary just to throw a punch (i.e., use a Strike Combat Maneuver). It's taken for Martial Arts that are inherently based on a weapon and thus come with a Weapon Element for free (e.g., Fencing, Stickfighting). It represents the fact that the character has also been trained to use the appropriate Maneuvers in that art without a weapon -- barehanded.
