Martial Basic Attacks
Create a Basic Attack
At level 1, you can create a Basic Attack for your martial character. Your Basic Attack has a range of 70 feet if you use a ranged weapon, and a range of 5 feet if you use a melee weapon.
​
To create your Basic Attack, choose your weapon, then name your Basic Attack. Your Basic Attack deals a fixed amount of damage based on the weapon you chos
​
For roleplaying purposes, name your Basic Attack something like "Hack and Slash" or "Careful Strike". Different names imply different fighting styles and help reinforce characters' unique strengths as much their Skills or Background.
​
Choose Your Weapon
Weapons each have a stat requirement necessary for wielding it. If you are wearing armor that provides stat penalties, it does not affect your eligibility for wielding weapons. Your base Attributes before penalties apply are always used to determine whether or not you can wield a weapon.
Unarmed Fighters
If you would like to play an unarmed brawler or monk archetype, work with your Storyteller to create a Background Passive that allows you to treat your fists like another weapon type. The tradeoff for never being disarmed is an inability to increase your Basic Attack damage with material modifiers.
