Default [KYOS] Striking ST and One Attack Only

KYOS reduces the cost of Striking ST to 1/level, but is does it still accept the One Attack Only (-60%) limitation?
If not, how would I got about making Striking ST (Bite only) for dogs and lizard men?

Yes. For example, 10 levels of Striking ST in KYOS would costs 10 points. With One Attack Only, it would cost only 4.

That seems like a complicated issue though, since bites can become free grapples, and with Technical Grappling just having you use the rolled basic damage as your Control Points, which you couldn't do if Striking ST and Lifting ST were different.

The idea comes from stat ups of dogs, crocodiles and lizardman, but you raise a good point. Maybe it should be treated as Arm ST (One Arm)?

Maybe with some kind of limitation like the -40% you get for buying ST with No Fine Manipulators?

Well, it has been done by some players.
