Dim Mak [Minor] by Iczer

'Prepare for fist of death technique murderous dog'

While named after an esoteric art, the dim mak power is much less complex. The character can generate a wedge of force ahead of his fist that acts like a sledge or axeblade when he does strike. Consequently his blows even light finger touches, can be made as dangerous as sword blows.

Against flesh and blood foes, the character can inflict an extra 2d6 damage with each blow. alternatively, he may instead attempt to touch a foe rather than damage. merely touching a person reduces the effectiveness of Armour ratings or parries (but not dodges) by 4, but overall damage is halved.

Against innanimate objects, the wedge splits and deforms objects. at the point of impact, the character inflicts double his normal damage and he lowers the AR of the object struck by 1 ( by 2 at level 3, by 3 at level 6 by four at level 9 etc) for a 3 inch radius per level from point of impact.
