Can't decide between Unarmed or Blades - Melee (Psion) (Bounty Hunter campaign)
So starting a new campaign and managed to get a Psion with 14 PSI but only 5 STR.... but I still have 11 DEX. Thanks to the skill package I did get Gun Combat - Energy 1 and got a laser pistol with a benefits roll. I also bought a tl12 Stunner.
So while not defenseless, I still want melee capabilities just in case.... plus I think it'd be cool!
I have Telepathy,Clairvoyant, and Awareness.
We are doing a Bounty Hunter themed campaign where of course bounties could pay better alive, and certain social situations may just not allow guns blazing.
Unarmed looks great for Grappling, more concealable, Monofilament Claws, and situations where weapons are prohibited. It also would make more narrative sense for her to know martial arts/self defense rather than kendo.
Blades look great due to lower costs, more options.... and (though I think they are lacking) PSI blade/dagger. Plus futuristic swords are cool as hell.
So question is... do I go Tifa route or 2B route?
(I know its probably not optimal to even bother with melee at all.... but I want to and would love any opinions/advice)
