====== Unarmed Defender ======

If one character has a melee weapon and his foe doesn't, the opponent is considered unarmed and is very likely in a world of hurt. Since he can only dodge and evade rather than [[traits:parry|parry]], any armed attacker trying to hit him may add +2 to his [[skills:fighting|Fighting]] roll. Nearly all animals and monsters are considered armed due to natural weapons such as claws and teeth.
