Melee

Description: 


 * This is the skill of using any hand-held weapon, whether a blade, maul or a roustabouts crate hook to bash, slash or impale another living creature.


 * There is a -2D penalty to using Melee Combat in the water.
 * Veteran marines of the United Commonwealth Military have developed their own aquatic combat drill that receives only a -1D penalty when used underwater. Aquatic combat drill is only available to UCM veterans.

Specialties: Knives, mauls, crate hooks, aquatic combat drill, etc.
 * Most Oceanborn practice Sikàri  or Kruräta  instead, which incorporates the use of their traditional hand-held weapons, such as gullet hooks or milk knives into their brutally effective maneuvers.
