Combat

Body Skill

Combat is a Body Skill that represents training in physical fighting and specialized battle techniques. Combat can represent formal schooling in unarmed martial arts, weapons training, or simply very good street fighting and brawling.
Not surprisingly, most uses of the Combat Skill take place in battle. Specifically, Combat is tested when performing certain Combat Maneuvers, including Pushing, Tripping, Grappling, and Disarming. Having a high Combat Skill also improves the damage and accuracy of a character’s Struggle Attacks (page 240).
Having a high Combat Rank is also important to making the best use of Weapons. Simple and Fine Quality Weapons grant their wielder Moves that can only be used by a Trainer with a high enough Combat Rank.
That isn’t to say Combat has no use outside of battles. Opposed Combat Checks can be used for two characters grabbing at the same item or trying to push each other around without trying to seriously injure one another. One can also make use of the Combat Skill in martial arts performances or to break down obstacles with brute force.
