Hey all... this is my first post here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (If any of you recognizes the screenname, yes, I'm the same one.)

So a question, which is really two questions. I'm trying to make an orc unarmed combat specialist. The first question is of course the build; I can do a gun-bunny fine, but for this sort of thing I'm completely lost. I'm assuming things like martial arts and the Augmentation specialized cyberlimbs are good, but I have no idea if they're worth the trade of having to average your values and I have no idea which of the martial arts are good. My last problem is that, unless absolutely necessary, any above-the-waist cyberlimbs need to be synthetic.

My other question is a bit more complex. I've played a melee character once or twice, and I always hit the same problem: while I'm running over to take care of the enemies, my gun-bunny friends put holes in them before I even get there. If I end up contributing at all, it's as a bunching bag for bullets. Any thoughts on what to do about this?
