Anyways, your Aggressive Parry damage is:

1d+1 (Basic Thrust) -4 (Aggressive Parry) = 1d-3 plus any damage bonus based on the skill you're using. So with a Brawling bonus it would be 1d-2 or alternatively a maxed Karate bonus would bring it up to 1d-1.

With that being said, Aggressive Parry does thr-4 + 2/die for a Karate parry or +1/die for a Brawling parry. For this character, that is 1d-1 cr for Karate and 1d-2 cr for Brawling.

There is no need for you to worry about the thr-2 with -1 per die, as you don't do multiple dice of damage so the thr-4 will always be lower and thus the version to use.
Oh, I see!

And what happens if I have "Skill Adaptation: Karate damage bonus to Brawling"? Are my bonuses going to stack?

I thought those bonuses could stack because a martial artist may mix the knowledge & training of all his fighting skills into his resulting attacks; for the purpose of skill adaptation, do I relinquish the brawling bonuses?

Thank you!
