This style is suggested as a basic form only, combat training given to a technician in a fictitious Unified German army, a no-frills form of fisticuffs.

Basic Style Basic Style hits hard and fast, 2 attacks and +20 damage mod, with a -10 defensive sit-mod for protection.  No weapons are used.
Untitled  Because the practitioner never learned any maneuvers, no titles are appropriate within this style.
Overall Overall the style is weak, a stripped combat form which is good enough for bar fights but has no maneuvers.
 If in the course of examining this material, you want to know more about AD&D, there are at least hundreds of sites on the web which may help; I'll just recommend my own two:
M. J. Young's Dungeons & Dragons Materials as source material for many campaigns and situations;
and all you need to create a character, Character Creation for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons First Edition.
And if in the course of examining this material you want to know more about Multiverser, check it out at:
