[QUOTE="med stud, post: 48099, member: 1211"] Supposing you was really you, it would probably be smart to run from a martial arts wrestler even if you had an axe. But if you had put an equal time training with that axe as they have been training their martial arts, you would be superior. The main thing is the reach of the melee weapon, and the fact that even a simple slice with a edged weapon would be enough to get someone out of a fight. On your weapons and martial arts together thing, you are right, though. Almost all professional warriors, no matter from where they were, trained wrestling and weapons at the same time (I even think modern day special forces train wrestling and use of modern weapons). But considering the Fighter of D&D should be the best of the professional warriors, I think you can assume that he/she is trained well in unarmed combat, and that Improved unarmed strike is the maximum limit of natural unarmed fighting. But, a cinematic unarmed fight is really cool, so I suppose that's reason enough to come up with something ;) [/QUOTE]
