Cut the damage down a bit (only a bit, though) and use the points saved to add Double Knockback and Selective.

And we need a skill to attack with, so since we're being cheesy, we might as well spring for Brawling DX+2 ([4], Technique Mastery (Hammer Fist) and Hammer Fist at Brawling+4 [5].

You that puts us only 12 points from adding another 50-point ability to the list . . .

Perhaps buying arms as strikers? Strikers 2 (Crushing; Limb, Arms, -20%) [8].

I'd prefer a cheaper ability. Can we get it down to 25 points?

The damage is a bit high, even if we go by the listed claims. 4d or so would seem adequate for breaking bones and potential lethal blows.

Also, we might add a Delusion to the Pact. I'd probably favour it over the OPH, even, since by all accounts Pappy Joe and DOK Lee were not overly aggressive men.

If we can get the Innate Attack down to 15 points, the skill and technique package is 10 and the final price would be a nice, round, pentaphilic 25.

Of course, true masters of the art would need an Affliction with Permanent to be able to teach the basic package in 20 minutes.
