Pugilism

Pugilism is a skill in Wasteland and Wasteland 2.

Overview
One of the oldest forms of fighting, it teaches you how to dish out punches as well as avoid them. Handy for those close-up battles where the fists start flying.

Wasteland

 * 1) The Octotron in Base Cochise checks this skill at times, even if you're toting around laser weapons (which, at this point, you should be).
