Got a question regarding the gadgeteer talent tree. In the standard version of stunning blow the description says that it only applies to melee checks. But since Bounty Hunter/Gadgeteer doesn't have melee as a career skill the talent seems useless.

The improved version applies to both melee and brawl

Is this intentional?

Melee skill and brawl skill are both types of "Melee" attacks.

Yes, because a Brawl attack by default already can choose to inflict damage as Strain.

Yeah it's intentional. Can't have an improved version of a talent without the basic version. And as 2P51 said Brawl can already do strain damage.

Thanks. Missed the "Brawl can already do strain damage"
