When someone attacks with Melee or Unarmed combat, and the defender has yet to act, the defender can opt to resist with unarmed or melee combat (if armed) rather than dodge. Whoever gets the higher roll wins that turn, and does damage to the opponent. This becomes her action for that round even if she did not initiate the attack, or it is before her initiative. Alternatively the defender can simply dodge, in which case, she can still do another action. If the defender has already acted that turn, she can only dodge or block. Using unarmed combat verses a melee attack is at a -1 step penalty.<br>

If you are attacked with a gun or ranged weapon by an adjacent opponent, and able, you can defend with either your DODGE to avoid the attack, or Unarmed/Melee skill to strike the attacker (even if you've already acted, just factor in any step penalty). If your unarmed or melee attack is higher than your opponent's attack roll, her attack misses and you do damage to her, the opponent with the smaller weapon (unarmed = small) get's  +1 step bonus.
