2 hours ago, SladeWeston said:True, but brawl weapons only augment brawl attacks replacing the players unarmed stats with their own if they are better (see brawl weapon description). That means that Iron Body indeed improves the players base unarmed attack first, then a brawl weapon comes in and overwrites the base stats with its own (when they are better). They may seem subtle, but it's dramatically changes the power level of Iron Body. In one instance, two ranks in Iron Body take Vambracers to Crit 1 and in the other they stay crit 3 for example. I would encourage you to reread the brawl weapon description, as my brawler would love it if I was wrong on this account.
Regardless, I plan on submitting the question on the ND edition of the Order 66 podcast and hope for some clarification.
You know, I think you're absolutely right. I may just send a dev question about this to verify.
