The hallmark of the close quarters adept: Killing Hands. But how exactly does this power work in the world of Shadowrun. Is it a transfer of destructive energy, like some sort of anti-reiki, or something more along the lines of the Tae Kwon Do/Karate practice of punching through people, like the late Mas Oyama, who killed three bulls with his bare hands.
So, fellow dumpshockers, what's your take on Killing Hands? |
