I must be missing it somehow but.....

By Laughinrob, in Game Masters

Weapons list their crits, and Fist dmg is explained. But where does it show or explain crits in relation to fists? I own the basic set and the core rule book and nothing seems to line up or show me exactly what it is.

One place might show five advantages needed to activate a crit while somehwere else shows three. Where is the place in the rules that explains this best?

I figure I must be reading circles around the answer, but I just can't seem to find it.

Answer needed, much thanks.

The info for unarmed combat is on page 211, where it describes that the Critical Rating is 5, and also has the Disorient 1 and Knockdown qualities. It would have been nice if they'd included an "unarmed" line in the weapons chart...

For the rest, the details are on page 160-161. The number in the Crit column is the number of advantages you need for that weapon to trigger a critical.

While we're making wishes, it would have been nice if they had included unarmed attacks/combat in the index too.
