Melee Combat - Stun or Physical Damage Options

[ShadowGhost]

I've been looking through my books, and I could swear I remembered something somewhere where you could choose to do physical damage in unarmed melee combat. Of course, I can't find it now.

Was I just imagining it, or is there something in one of the books that allows you to chose to do physical damage instead of stun?

Let's see...

Killing Fists adept power.
Bone lacing cyber lets you halve power to do physical damage.
A martial arts maneuver I can't remember off the top of my head.

Bone Lacing

Thanks for the help - your guidance led me to page 300, with the bone lacing description.

I thought there was some way I could do double duty damage in a melee attack by doing physical damage (12M/2 = 6M) ceramic Bone Lacing, and using Shock Hand Cyber implant to add 8S stun, so I can fill up both sides of the damage boxes on my opponent at the same time.

Now I know.... 6M Physical, and 8S Stun...... and Combat Monster flaw to boot. :D

also the "choice" of physical or stun damage is given to during astral combat. with no specifics on halving the power.
