One question recently came up in our campaign about asyncs in unarmed combat. Let's say you have a combat trained async, and he wants to use his training in martial arts to deliver a touch based async attack, like Psychic Stab. How would we handle it?
Some options:
1. Roll against the lowest of the asyncs skill in either Unarmed Combat and Psi Assault. So, if the async has 50 in Unarmed Combat and a Psi Assault of 40, his attack would be rolled against 40. If the attack hits, he would inflict damage from both Unarmed Combat and the Psychic Stab, and of course roll Strain.
2. Roll Unarmed Combat first, then Psi Assault if it the attack hits.
However, both the Unarmed Attack and the Psychic Stab are Complex Actions. Anyone else had this question pop up in their campaigns?
Cheers,
Eirik
