Just rolled a new character and am experimenting with brawling, but something does not appear to be right with the UAF calculation.

Skill Name | Current Current
| Bonus Ranks
Combat Maneuvers...................| 10 2
Brawling...........................| 20 4

Strength (STR): 71 (5) ... 71 (5)
Agility (AGI): 62 (6) ... 62 (6)


According to the formula I am familiar with, my UAF should be (4 * 2) + (2 [CM]/2) + (5 (STR)/2) + (6 (AGI)/2) = 14?

But it keeps coming up 8, only, i.e., brawling ranks * 2.

Am I missing something? I am fully trained for the armor I am wearing (double leather). Encumbrance, perhaps? Any ideas?

Wearing any armor will reduce your UAF. Also just about anything in your hand (including most brawling weapons) will also reduce your UAF.

I do not know exactly how much armor and other weapons in hand and feet beside worn handwraps/gauntlets and footwraps/boots reduce the UAF, but just about anything other than robes will cause a penalty to UAF. I just now read the part about double leathers being worn. Try without the armor on and see what the difference is.
