This talent improves your unarmed hand damage by +1 for each point of Brawn you have (added as if it were a natural weapon bonus - but only for bare hands, not for claws or when wearing gloves or gauntlets). It also allows you to block melee attacks as if you were wearing bracers, and grants you a natural armour of 25% on your hands and arms (stackable with armour in the normal way). Your fists also gain +10% bypass (see ‘help bypass’).
Your bare handed crush attacks have an innate critical bypass of 250% instead of the usual 150% (see ‘help critical bypass’).
