    for those avatars that wish to go to battle bare handed? Any incentive for bare handed combat?

    The current plan does not include "bare handed" combat as its own skillset. What you see in-game now was added to compensate for the possible breakage of your weapon during a fight, which would have left unprepared melee users with nothing to do.

    I can see potential issues with such a skillset that might explain its absence: Namely how does one balance bare-handed fighting with the other weapon-required skillsets, which have durability and repair concerns.

    It is possible the devs will implement such a system in the future, however I do not believe it is on the plate for Episode 1. :)

    indeed it does not warrant its own skill tree, i was wishing more along the lines of bonuses and "chance of" effects.

    I would not mind having an entire Brawler skill line that only worked in duels. :)

    I would not mind have an entire Ninjutsu skill line that worked for all situations. :)

    I typically played a Monk in D&D. Would love to have weaponless marital art skills to pursue.
