And why they're not going to "fix" that rock? How is this possible to punch with bare hand slower than with a rock in the same hand? Just make damage of rock something between simple punch and brass knuckles.
Also Haymaker and other special attacks can be balanced by taking into account that they can be used with knuckles/power fists. So haymaker with bare hands won't be so strong as it is now, but haymaker with powerfist will be useful.
i agree, the 1ap less to punch with rock must be fixed.
also, i think secondary atacks for unarmed weapons would be good. becouse unarmed chars will carry weapons and will have a real loss when die. of course it will need some changes to balance.
lets say:
jab: +1 AP cost, +5% critical +3 damage.
piercing strike:+3AP cost, +15% critical, +7dmg armor piercing.
