Topic: Brawling criticals ?

What critical chart is used for Brawling attacks ?

[munchy]

Martial Arts Strike table, I'd say. With a maximum of tiny (or small) I guess. Haven't got my book with me at the moment.

[Hawkwind]

The skill description states that the critical type is dependent on what's being used in the brawl - fists (MA Strikes), chairs (Crush), broken bottle (Slash) and I'd rule a tiny critical - maybe a bar stool could be a small. Those are my suggestions anyway.

That makes sense. I guess I was just looking for a Brawling critical table. I have an old copy of Arms Law with that

[GMLovlie]

With the HB#11 combat system you can use your trusty old arms law critical tables with harp. Which is what I?m doing.
I am also considering implementing must/no parry crits, and also perhaps the temporary penalties.

Hi,

Brawling skill (Harp Core pg 35) says Brawling uses Tiny or Small attack on the relevant table.

I'd use Crush myself, but Impact may be more suitable - depends on your style.

Since Impact does a bit more damage, I'd probably go for Tiny Impact Criticals, but then again we discuss rule changes amongst our group and I can see some people wanting to make it more even by having a small Crush, or even a Tiny Crush.

But thats where the rule is!
