The art of fisticuffs is taught by several of Avendar's martial guilds. Students will hit harder while unarmed than those who are untrained. If someone who is trained in both fighting unarmed and dual wielding has even a single free hand, he will use that as an off-hand attack. Having claws, such as srryn, will do more damage with this skill than other races.

However, this basic training only goes so far, and those who fight without a weapon in hand will find themselves unable to parry.

Many unarmed attacks, such as kick and headbutt, benefit from the hand to hand skill.
