Martial Arts(Skill)

3.4.6 Martial Arts
The character has studied the discipline of both unarmed combat and various forms of weapon combat. His unarmed attacks can affect any target regardless of armor. In addition, his EL/3, rounded down is added to his EL with any weapon he has the skill to use. At no time may this increase more than double his EL with that weapon.

OPTIONAL — Martial artists learn special methods of using weapons and their hands. If the Referee wishes, specialty strikes of various kinds may be added for such characters. If so, the EL in the strike method is raised independently of the Martial Artist EL and may never exceed the character’s EL as a martial artist.
