You can KO with just Self-Defense? In that case, I concede the point. A new player could realistically KO an attacker who is stupid before setting up a HS.
Yeah. You only need Rights to actually initiate combat with another player. Anyone can defend themselves.
I thought I implied that I was running around without an actual homestead, so lets make that explicit: I had just created a lean-to homestead. I did use the free teleport to get away from Boston, but I broke it and just started wandering. The two things it's necessary for is a warp point to get to and from Boston and something to keep a couple of containers safe in while offline.
