[PnP] Hand to Hand

[Wout Broere]

In my game HtH against an armored opponent would not give damage 
(subdual or real) to the attacker (as long as he or she has the 
skill). Having learned the skill HtH in my book implies that you know 
where to kick or stomp between the plates without damaging yourself.

If the skill is not known or only partially learned that might chance 
things in my book, but I don't have any rules for that.

We used some experimental fumbling rules in the past. A fumble (a 
miss with double numbers, 00, 99, 88 etc) might result in damage to 
the attacker. In that system damage to the attacker could occur and 
would be more likely if the skill was not learned, but this was not 
limited to HtH fighting.
