[Torg] Martial Arts Question

[Dominick Riesland]

I must have misunderstood the question. I was answering the question
based on wondering why there would be a Strike maneuver as opposed to
using Unarmed Combat. The difference there is that, being a martial
arts maneuver, it deals STR+2 instead of normal STR. But if the
question is why there is a basic Strike maneuver in some disciplines
when "all it does" is provide the basic STR+2, that would have to come
down to one of two possible explanations: either the style is being
derived from a real-world martial art that only has four "flashy"
minor maneuvers, or the features of the martial art were deemed to be
overbalanced compared to the other arts and thus the Strike is forced
upon it for game balance purposes.
