Characters with No Hand to Hand Combat Skill

Level 1: Starts with one hand to hand attack per melee round. This reflects the character’s pitiful fighting skills. HOWEVER, the character gets TWO non-combat melee actions at first level. A non-combat action involves some activity other than fighting (operating a machine, driving, locking a door, running, hiding, helping others, etc.).
Level 3: +1 attack per melee round and +1 to dodge. +1 non-combat melee action.
Level 6: +2 non-combat melee actions.
Level 9: +1 attack per melee round for a total of three “attacks” per round (each attack counts as two melee actions for this character). [i]+1 non-combat melee action[i/] for a total of six melee “actions.” That’s it.
