For the character class Mirumoto Taoist Blade (Page 92 of Shadowlands) allows Kiho powers that affect your unarmed attack profiles to also be applied to any weapon you wield in a one-handed grip.
When you cast the Kiho power "Water Fist" (Page 187 of Core Rule Book) and inflict a critical on your opponent do you use the Deadliness value of the weapon you are wielding, for example a value of 5 for a Katana or 2 for an Unarmed Punch. Or is the deadliness value 8, as it states under the section of Unspecified Deadliness on page 270 of the core rule book that Kiho has a deadliness of 8?
This question about deadliness value could also come up for the Fire invocation power where you summon a weapon made of fire. Would your katana made of fire have a deadliness of a base katana or would its deadliness be equal to your ring value pulse strife symbols kept on that check (Page 270 of core rule book)?
