I'm going to try to keep most of this off you guys, but here are the rules as written for unarmed combat in 1E.

*Edit* I was going to copy down the rules, but that would get messy and I'm going to assume that everyone can get a copy of the rules if needed. I will, however, summarize.

Rules for this game/ What players need to do:

• Choose target of attack.
• Choose the type of combat. Pummel, grapple, overbear.
• Give me an idea of what you want to do. ex: punch this dude. Throw him off a railing. etc
• Roll d100. Twice. Lower is better on the to-hit roll, higher is better on the results roll.

That's it.

Other notes:

• All damage is rounded down.
• Initiative is based on Suprise, charging to attack, DEX, die roll. In that order.
• Each combatant gets an attack when punching or grappling, not just the attacker. (The attacker picks the target and literally gets into a fight with them)

I'm going to provide each combatant's to hit percentile scores in-game, so you have an idea of who's an easy mark. I won't give them out until they fight, however. For example:

(NPC) Thundarr the Barbarian: P: 75%, G: 80%
(PC) Bob the Bard: P: 80%/19%, G: 80%/14% (Base defense/bonus to hit)

Thundarr's base chance to be punched is 75%, plus the 19% bonus to punch Bob has. Thundarr is going to be punched. I'll add up the results modifiers to see what kind of damage Bob does and describe. Bob rolls a 21% on the results table. He strikes a glancing blow for 2 damage.


Summary of rules:
Three basic attack modes are recommended: PUMMEL, GRAPPLE, OVERBEAR. Each method of attack is explained separately, and each has its own table and modifiers.

But first a variable.

Variable Applicable To All Pummeling, Grappling, and Overbearing Attacks:

Basically, there is a random variable tossed in to add some more accounting, I guess? The attacker gets a d6 plus what THAC0 tier they are on to add to an attack. The defender gets a d4 plus tier. These numbers modify the percentile roll, so not that significant. I plan on just rolling this on my side and keeping track of it that way. PC's will have the most favorable option used for them.

Pummel:

• Damage: 25% of damage is real, rest is temporary, restored at 1 per round. Unconscious at 0. Knocked out for however much temporary damage taken, plus one, in rounds.
• To Hit: There is a base score to hit, based off the AC of the victim. AC 10 = 100% base chance. This is modified based on the attacker's stats and the defender's condition.
• Pummeling table: There is a percentile chart listing damage and results. Basically, it's 2dmg + STR bonus per 20% rolled. The final number is modified by the attacker's STR, what they are hitting with, the defender's status, DEX, and what they are wearing.
• To top it all off, each attack can have multiple strikes, depending on the roll. So one could conceivably give someone the old one-two. or three.

Grapple:

• Damage: 25% of damage is real, rest is temporary, restored at 1 per round. Unconscious at 0. Knocked out for however much temporary damage taken, plus one, in rounds.
• To Hit: There is a base score to hit, based off the AC of the victim. AC 10 = 100% base chance. This is modified based on the attacker's stats and the defender's condition, and armor.
• Grappling must be done with empty hands.
• Grappling table: There is a percentile chart listing damage and results. Basically, it's 1dmg + STR bonus per 15% rolled. Approximately. The final number is modified by the attacker's STR, DEX, the defender's status, DEX, STR, what they are wearing. The difference in weight and height between the two fighters is a 5% modifier per 10% difference.
• To top it all off, some grapples can be held, inflicting damage each turn.

Overbear:

• Damage: 50% of damage is real, rest is temporary, restored at 1 per round. Unconscious at 0. Knocked out for however much temporary damage taken, plus one, in rounds.
• To Hit: There is a base score to hit, based off the AC of the victim. AC 10 = 100% base chance. This is modified based on the attacker's stats and the defender's condition, and armor.
• Overbearing can be done with objects in hands.
• Overbearing table: There is a percentile chart listing damage and results. Basically, it's 1dmg + STR bonus per 20% rolled. Starting at 40%. The final number is modified by the attacker's STR, and movement, the defender's status, DEX, STR. The difference in weight and height between the two fighters is a 10%/5% modifier per 10% difference.
