Melee Point Buy

Melee Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to use melee weapons, and get melee weapon-related Techniques. Any learned Technique can be used on any weapon a Character knows how to use. Melee Point Buy includes a variety of options for a melee fighter to keep fighting in close quarters.

Melee Combat

Melee Weapons can be used to attack people without their attached Abilities. Melee Attack Emotes use Strength Proficiency as Main Combat Stat (for dice rolling). Some form of melee weapon, such as a sword, or mace, is required to make melee attack emotes. Only one of these Point Buy Packs are required for this, and if a character has no Strength, they are considered incapable of using melee based combat effectively. This is the default Main Combat Stat for Melee Weapon Characters, and can be combined with abilities that change Main Defense Stat, but without them, Constitution is used.
