The usual being Basic, Expert, Martial Arts, and Assassin.

I found Gladiator (OCC-specific) in High Seas 2E. Are there any others?

ETA: Evasive Combat (OCC-specific, Monk-Scholar) in Old Ones 2E.

ETA: Skudasa (RCC-specific, Gosai Assassin) in Baalgor Wastelands.

Old Ones has Hand-to-Hand Evasion for the Monk Scholar O.C.C. I think that's it. Palladium Fantasy canon isn't big on special martial arts.

That's an interesting take. Even more pacifistic than N&SS's Akido. Thanks!

Greetings and Salutations. I think there are 7 total that I've found (I can verify when I get home). Edit: Verified I only know of these 7 via my Excel database I can access on my phone.

4 standard.
Hand to Hand Evasion (as noted by Hotrod)
Hamd to Hand Gladiator (as noted in original post)
Hand to Hand ... I forget the name, but Baalgor Wastelands, limited to the Gosai (found in their racial write-up). Edit: It's Hand to Hand Skudasa. I realized I had it listed on the PF Character Sheet.

Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys.

Well, if you go to 1st Edition, each of the original OCCs has its own H2H skill, and the non men-at-arms have H2H: Non-Man-At-Arms.

Noted.

But I'll stick with 2E since it's similar for the other SDC games.

Greetings and Salutations. There are some Unofficial ones in the Rifter and some fan sites. If interested, I can list some of those. But I figured to keep it to Official references only unless expanding that field is requested. Farewell and safe journeys.

Does anybody think that H2H: Evasive Combat for the scholar monk gets the usual punch strike?

You could obviously use the ones N&S sans chi powers.
