Unless the character has UC I or better. Then their hands could be considered weapons. Something like this has come up before in another way. I don't think itwas addressed fully. Let me start by saying I don't think anyone will agreewith this, but I feel it may be correct. I don't think a character can strike an adjacent figure with their hands. I think they need a weapon.I'm almost positive one has to engage a figure in HTH to use a fist on them.But like I said, I don't think anyone plays that way. David Michael Grouchy II
David,One example of why it wouldn't be HTH is boxing. In the ring, a boxer is in his own hex. He reaches out and attacks with an extended arm. The hex may seem to shrink when they get up close and go "head to head", but they still seem to be in their own hex. If they go "Hand to Hand" then they are hugging eachother and the Referee will break them up.
Is this a good analogy of what is not TFT Hand-toHand combat? Or is TFT Hand-to-Hand combat refering to any fighting in the same 3 foot diameter? Is this why you concluded that you can't hit a character in an adjacent hex with your hands, because it would be under 3 feet?
