I wasn't just talking about the players, we all have either armed or
unarmed and some do have armed and unarmed. I'm not sure how many of the
others can use unarmed and armed as equally well as their firearms skill.
The reason why my characters usually do is because by practising with
blade or fist is a good way of getting back into condition after being in
the hospital for month or more 8*).
I was also talking about the NPC's that are thrown against us at
times. Like security guards, whenever we're up against Knight Errant I'll
generally go for sword or spurs or even bare fists since they're unarmed
isn't as good as mine or my armed combat.
Well I've rambled long enough. Ciao.
