Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Hints

Unarmed

  • 1 of 3: This, obviously, governs how effective you are at fighting with your fists. A high rating in this early will make combat at the beginning of the game quite easy, and will ensure a ready supply of blood from enemies, which is particularly handy later in the game.
  • 2 of 3: You don't need to put more than 3 dots worth of XP into Brawl, however, as you will get 2 free points in game, one from a book (assuming you have enough research) and one from Nines at the Last Round, Downtown.
  • 3 of 3: Unarmed itself isn't very useful later in the game, when enemies start soaking bashing damage, but it is still very handy to be able to feed from enemies to keep your health up in extended combat areas.
