I'd be against starting Boxing with a powerful 2-point talent. Lots of characters want to be able to say, "Sure, I've been in a fight or two, I know how to throw a punch." In fact probably most fighters feel they want to say this. There should be a basic level talent they can pick up cheaply so they can say that.

An alternative theory is that everybody in TFT, even wizards, has this talent from generation.

You might your two attacks talent an advanced unarmed talent, but I think it would be better to make it something that isn't tied to unarmed. Let any character acquire the ability to attack twice in a turn with penalty, and expect advanced fighters to get it.

This version is designed to be more RAW compatible. It simply provides a limited version of two-weapon fighting w/ your fists (something the existing CESTUS talent already does, just less efficiently)... it's my "one-two punch" talent.

I have many other changes to unarmed combat in my more comprehensive revised ruleset, but those would be outside the scope and intent of this thread.

I agree with this, though I would also give them a 1 turn all out block against a punch. Perhaps allow a Move 1 turn (weave) which gives opponent a -1 DX, but you a -2 DX if you strike.
