Also, the broad-based "Exotic Hand Strike" normla to Karate only does one more pt of Thrusting damge thna a regular Punch and it is my beleif that it is meant to include Knife Hands and sword hands and many similar maneuvers. Crane Fists and Eagle Claws and their ilk too..

I assumed in my old write up that the classic Star Trek chop was an Exotic Hand Strike and added a Perk to adopt that to Brawling. Though personally I don't really agree with Karate getting all the fancy hand strikes and think it would make more sense to let Boxing & Brawling get Exotic Hand Strike & such.
