Fisticuffs
In Game Description
Fisticuffs is the art of fighting unarmed. It can be a very effective skill, and is useful even for those who prefer fighting with weapons, as you never know when you might find yourself disarmed.
As well as many attack abilities, the fisticuffs skill also provides you with debilitating and tactical abilities which can turn a battle to your favour.
Most fisticuffs abilities are used merely by typing <ability-name> <target>, although there are a few variations on this. Typing the ability name alone will usually provide more information on its use.
A couple of higher level abilities require that you use a lower level ability before you can use them, but this is the exception, not the rule. If you are unsure if you would need something else before learning an ability, ask your teacher for their advice - I'm sure they would be happy to give it.
