So "Fist", "Kick", "Grapple", (the natural weapons) isn't the martial art of unarmed combat? Why differ between fistskill and for instance the maulskill? Therefore I'm for either disposing of the MA skill entirely, or find an useful aspect for it to cover.

Point taken, but I don't agree.

Isn't misdirection and deflection the same thing? And blocking is really not the preferred defencive action acording to my experience.

The way I'll use my version of the MA skill, only DiamondDwarves would ever reach 100% in MA. And after fighting for some thousand years, I don't think its that unrealistic to match a rapier expert in a rapierduel.
