Considering the reach advantage, the luck was a little one-sided to begin with.

@ Conan:
I'm sorry for your misfortune, but simply reading something isn't going to add skill points. You'd actually have to get out there and employ it and turn it into something you can rely on. I know you don't think you can just read a book, memorize moves, and check this whole thing off the to-do list.
I'm just wondering how far you're trying to go with it.
I personally think you should be fine as most folks usually live most of their adult lives without ever needing to throw a punch.

Not having to worry about fist-fights gets a lot more relevant as you get older. You'll see.
