Myriad Lite Melee

Melee weapons are hand-held weapons that strike opponents directly around you, as opposed to a ranged weapon like a firearm or bow.

Melee Attack Dice

The Myriad RPG System includes these reference melee weapon attack/damage suggestions:

1. Unarmed Combat
2. Short animal claws, knife, dagger, blackjack, knuckledusters
3. Long animal claws, short sword, machete, wooden baseball bat, staff
4. Fire axe, long sword, katana, aluminum baseball bat, poleaxe
5. Battleaxe, claymore, laser sword, daikatana, double-ended polearm

Setup

1. Create a melee object, such as a sword approximately 1m long.
2. Drag and Drop the Myriad Lite Melee script for sword fighting (below) from inventory into the object
3. Take the melee weapon into into inventory.
4. Attach it to your right hand
5. Adjust the position and rotation
6. Detach the mele weapon back into inventory again to "save" the new default attach point.
7. Attach or wear the melee weapon when desired.
