SME: Unarmed abilities (Utna's)

This modulable data content pack overwrite the basic unarmed combat abilities and adds 6 new special abilities, to be unlocked with your character's attributes.



OVERWRITING PROCESS
Normally I should avoid any overwriting in the SME modules, but the fist item is given to each character and cannot be removed otherwise. But this time at least, it should not create odd situations where random NPC with 0 in the Unarmed specialization uses a non lethal technique (as in no HP damage) since the basic ability and "fist" item remains exactly the same. With the vanilla abilities, the only difference relies on Roundhouse Kick which may now do AP damage on critical hits, and which is not affected by the Killer Hands status.

CONTROL
Much of this mod's unarmed abilities are meant to control the enemy more than inflicting raw HP damages. This is why there is a focus on AP damages, along with special debuffing effects.

THREAT VALUE
For those who also use Tracker's SCC or my own SME: Melee weapons, the character's threat value will remove all the unarmed bonus abilities if it reaches a score of 8 or more.
