intuitive combat

Unread post by drewkitty ~..~ »

Other then the super power, the psi power and NB/NS abilities, is there any other places intuitive combat can be had by a player character?
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

What do you mean intuitive combat?
Do you mean 'just knows how to fight?'
If so Dragons can be born with H2h Dragon, various internals and such automatically have various hand to hand skills ect.

I ask because the super power natural combat ability is not at all like Intuitive Combat (you still need a H2H skill to use I.C. effectively its bonuses that apply to what ever H2H skill you have, not a replacement skill)
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Automatically has an h2h or powers that give an h2h equivalent.

Knowing how to fight w/o having to "learn" how to.

Yes, like dragons.

The Robot RCC combat skills, not so much an example of learning and more a case of "instinct" IMHO given the speed and which you can pick it up. This one of course is very subjective.

The Altarian (Blind Warrior Woman) is born with their primary skills and abilities, which includes HTH.

There are creatures (playable and non-playable races) that don't get HTH skills, but use their own "unique" style for all practical purposes and to numerous to list off hand. Some even get HTH, but start out better due to extra limbs/coordination (actions per melee, WP: Paired) or just general bonuses.

An Auto-G via genetic consumption (in cases where the information is in the DNA). In a similar vein Metamorposis: Magic does grant intuitive ability to use the new form fully, just like the Auto-G's ability to consume DNA.
