Unarmored Combat

Unarmored Combat initially raises a character’s Unarmed attack damage to 1d6, normal characters strike with unarmored attacks at 1d4. This does not include damage from the character's hand to hand weapons such as brass knuckles. It also allows the character to perform feats of great acrobatic attacks and karate in combat. At level one, the warrior learns to fight with his bare knuckles to extreme degrees. While in combat, he can strike a target harder with his fists. After a successful initial unarmed strike, the warrior gains an additional attack and can choose which attack from a list below. This ability takes up the entire turn of the warriors and cannot be used if a move action or another action has been used that turn. At levels 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50, the warrior gains an additional attack after each successful attack. The initial unarmed strike does not count as an Unarmored Combat attack. Damage listed does not include the attacker’s Unarmed damage and must be added into it when rolling damage for each attack.

The attacker can choose to pummel his opponent until he either misses an attack, or runs out of unarmored combat moves he can perform. The effects of the same attack do not stack, a target can only be fatigued once, or only have his SPD reduced once by the same character. The character cannot use abilities such as melee and does not gain the ability to roll for AGI DC multiple attacks.

Ex: Jon, an expert in martial arts, has a level 30 in Unarmored Combat. He can perform up to 4 attacks in succession. He initially strikes an opponent with his fist and rolls 1d6 damage. He then chooses to Palm Heel his opponent and rolls to strike again, he succeeds and then chooses to Eye Gouge. He strikes with that attack as well. Next he strikes with a Head Butt but misses. His turn ends even though he had one more attack left.
