[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 720230, member: 2525"] How is it logical that attacks that do nonlethal damage only should stack with attacks that do lethal damage? I don't see how that is logical at all. One is all about perfecting the rabbit-punch. The other is about perfecting your ability to kill someone with your bare hands. It's a different skill set. It involves a different manner of striking someone, a different place on their body to strike them, different muscles used in the strike, and different experience in knowing how hard and where and how to strike. It seems logical to me that the two sets of feat trees should not stack with each other. Saying they should all stack because they both involved unarmed combat is like saying that you know how to drive - therefore you know how to drive a car and pilot a helicopter and sail a boat. Darcnight, as for me quoting the rule back to you - that simply is not what happened. There were two rulings, let's call them A and B. B overrules A. You posted A. I said "Hey, take a look at B, I think it might clear some things up for you." And you attacked me for it. And since then your explanation is that I had simply quoted back to you what you had already read. Except you gave NO indication at all that you had already read B, since all you did was post the already overruled A. You've apologized, but then you follow up with a qualification - as if you were totally justified in attacking someone who was trying to help you. I think at this point we should drop it, and hopefully next time either of us is looking for advice it will go a little smoother. We are all trying to help each other out with this new set of rules.
