Talent for the weak: Cestus

[hcobb]

1. Will striking with a cestus into an adjacent hex do less damage than a bare handed punch for characters of ST 15 or higher?
2. Does wearing a cestus impose a -1 DX penalty? ("Like a small shield, it carries a -1 DX penalty." ITL 111) What if two are worn?
3. Does wearing two cesti give a -2 DX penalty and stop two hits?
4. Is there a restriction on which weapons an Expert Cestus user can defend against?
5. Does the full Two Weapons talent help with a pair of cesti, or one plus some other weapon?
6. If a cestus and dagger user gets into HTH must she drop her dagger?
