Ok, so daggers are not useful to Reptile Men, since they have claws and get no benefit from a dagger. Seems fair enough to me.

OH! Right! I forgot about that part, sorry.
Doesn't that kiind of make it pointless for people with Brawling to ready a dagger for HTH, then, since dirty Brawling would be dmg + 2 +1 in HTH, equal to +3 for a dagger? Or do we think the brawling bonus can stack with the dagger-in-HTH bonus? (I suppose we'd better, as I don't think it makes much sense otherwise.)
