UCV

     Personaly I have always had the hardest time dealing with Unarmed Combat V.  As a GM I have never had a player go for it. Just too many IQ points to buy it.  For my monsters only dragons use it.  This makes them fast, slippery, and hard to hit.  I always felt TFT dragons were too wimpy (a human with 100 ST would do 9+1 in HTH but dragons only do 2+2!  What are their claws made of talc?), and then to be specificaly denied the use of magic spells... it was just too much.
     Dragons in my campaign usually have Warrior and/or Vet, and as much Unarmed combat as they can get.  They can sheild rush a giant with their body, throw people who have almost three times their strength, defend bare handed, and some of the bigger ones have eyes behind (lots of side hexes on dragons), and make people drop their weapons to three points of damage or more.  It also brings up their claw damage.
    In my campaign a humanoid was seen to use UCV it was assumed they were a shapeshifted dragon.
