Description (Specifications)[edit]
While many humanoid sophonts possess a body plan very similar to human beings, others are radically different, and very non-humanoid in form and orientation. Regardless, nearly all sophonts have developed multiple forms of armed and unarmed Martial Arts.
Most of these Martial Arts emphasize unarmed combat using manipulators, peds, and other bodily limbs and extensions. [2]
Weapon Characteristics[edit]
Length: 150mm. Weight: 1,500 grams. Base Price: (Free).
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Creatures, or animals, are often born with a powerful set of naturally evolved weapons such as claws, horns, teeth, tails, etc. But sophonts often evolve to emphasize greater intelligence to the minimalization or exclusion of natural weapons and armor.
However, even an unarmed and unarmored sophont like a human being, still possesses a considerable number of basic weapons in the form of fists, feet, and martial arts. A melee combat involving brawling weapons can be dangerous with improvised weapons or even unarmed combat. [3]
