So perhaps i'm one of the few who enjoy not using any weapon, no katarn, no nightblade, but i dislike the fact my action just dies so fast and for whatever reason, my mind goes with it even though i'm not healing. I've searched but to no avail, can anyone tellme the SAC for totally unarmed and give a reason why my mind just drains to nothing in unarmed but when i switch to my pikes I'm fine and dandy? Thanks!

Hmm if I had to take a guess I think unarmed sac is prob around 100. Is your mind draining from attacking unarmed? Or is it because your healing more often?

SAC = Special Attack Cost
Every single attack uses action and mind. Same as heals use mind and action.

So the real question i have on this matter is this. When i fight with my TKM char i can master doc buff up and then just use melee hit the basic attack as the auto attack. My mind is used enough just doing that attack to stop me from regening mind at all. I never had that problem when i was Mrifles i could lay off the specials and watch my mind regen with no buffs.

Yep, yep, yep...
Melee seems to have a higher mind-cost on attacksthan ranged.
Now, the real question is: How do we find out the exact values?
SAC = xx
Does this mean 95% of that goes into action and 5% into mind?
Or what?
I am sure it is no fixed value because it seems to change with SAC-Pup's.

Actually for some reason the unarmed special attack cost is so insanely high that it drains from mind. I was accidentally fighting without my knuckler earlier today and I noticed I was draining action almost twice as fast and - what's this - mind as well? You'd think fighting completely unarmed would give you a very low SAC... You know, to give it some sort of advantage, instead of everyone running around with a Katarn.

of course the SAC is action and mind but in totally unarmed it just drains your mind wayyyyyy faster than anything i've seen. I mean if i wanted to be a TK/Doc it's pretty hard to do because a heal in unarmed uses more mind than say a heal while holding my pike. Just something i've noticed and really bugs me...
