Now making Alan Quartermain or even a Slayer from Buffy is much easier, though I don't know if I personally would play a character with Fist! Getting that close in without something that can do cutting, impaling or piercing damage might really suck when facing certain monsters from MH3. Although I suppose Pressure Points and Pressure Secrets might make it more useful if allowed. I can see it now, Pressure Secrets to rip out a vamp's heart... :)

You can get a bladed hand, and do impaling/piercing with Karate, and thus with Fist. In DF, the bladed hand is the weapon I recommend to "unarmed" martial artists, because of this.
