This seems like a preemptive nerf and it's not necessarily a nerf that is on the correct rules element. As I said, I do not see how this is balancing overpowered options in the current rules and none of your examples of proposed rules additions demonstrate why this distinction should exist (that is, unarmed strikes are melee attacks and not melee weapon attacks). It is beholden on future options to make sure they do not interact badly with existing rules. Coming up with extremely minor and complex rules decisions (unarmed strikes are melee attacks but aren't melee weapon attacks) in an effort to preempt such additions doesn't really seem congruous with how the rules are presented (as a rules light edition, at least when compared with prior editions).</blockquote>
