If a vampires has a Ghoul Retainer (may use a weapon of the controling
minion) and a Bang Nak - Tiger's Claws (minon does +2 hand damage with
each strike), what happens if the Ghoul tries to use the Bang Nak? Just
what is the Ghoul's hand damage? Or is the damage based on that of the
vampire? In that case, would a Torn Signpost + Fists of Death used by
the vampire allow the Ghoul to punch for 7 (assuming that the vampire
has superior Potence)?
Also, would a vampire with Wolf Claws use Bang Nak do 3 aggrivated
damage? Basically, the question here is do you strike with the Bang Nak,
or does the Bang Nak just function as a Fists of Death and give you +2
hand damage?

Modest, industrious, benevolent, temperate: is that how you would have
men? Good men? But to me that seems only the ideal slave, the slave of
the future. Modesty, industiousness, benevolence, temperance are just so
many hinderances to a sovereign disposition, great inventiveness, heroic
purposefullness, noble being-for-oneself.

Ghoul retainer is fun with vast wealth or arms dealers and such but I

This is a very interesting point that I would also request clarification on.
What _is_ the effect of a melee weapon such as Bang Nakh?
from the AH spoiler list for Bang Nakh:
"Minion with this weapon inflicts +2 hand damage with each strike."
Is a strike using the Bang Nakh (or any similar melee weapon) considered a
HAND strike or a NON-HAND strike (melee weapon strike?)?
The "+2 hand damage" text on Bang Nakh would suggest that a strike using
this melee weapon is a hand strike. Is this the case?
Is this effect _cumulative_? That is, since the Bang Nakh is non-unique
would a minion "with" two Bang Nakhs do +4 hand damage with each strike?
It would seem to me that a strike using the Bang Nakh should NOT be a hand
strike and should NOT be cumulative with other Bang Nakhs on the minion.
Similarly, I have heard (but have yet to see) that the V:TES version of
Bastard Sword has been reworded to say "+1 hand damage" instead of "2 hand
damage." If that is the case, the previous questions may also apply.

Using Bang Nakh's ability is considered to be striking with a weapon, so
it cannot be combined with other weapons.

How about with Wolf Claws?

A Melee Weapon can only be used in combat if you say "My Strike is the weapon." To
answer your questions, Bastard Sword and Bang Nakh are not hand strikes. The effect
can't be cumulative, because you can only strike with one Bang Nakh at once.
A Melee Weapon is also unaffected by cards such as Wolf Claws, and vampire's special
abilities, such as Thetmes.
The key rule to remember, you can't use a Melee Weapon unless you declare it as a
strike, which means it is separate from you hand.

I assume that this all means that both Bastard Sword and Bang Nakh are
unusable when Immortally Grappled. Is this the case?

The template used by Bang Nakh ("inflicts +2 hand damage with each strike")
suggests that, while you are striking with a weapon (and only one weapon
may be chosen for a strike), the strike is a hand strike, and therefore
usable even if grappled.
If this is not the case, why the contorted template?

Consider the wording as the weapon inflicts two more than your
current hand damage. There is an implication that this would
be a hand strike, but no explicit statement of that, only that
the weapon does damage which is two more than the damage done
by your bare hand. Looking at the phrase that way clears up
all the problems. Since it is not a hand strike, you cannot
strike with it if Immortally Grappled, and it would not be
modified by cards such as Wolf Claws or effects such as
Basilla's hand damage, only by cards which modify melee weapon
damage explicitly.

I understand the ruling, I was asking about the reason that the template
was changed in such a way as to imply something other than the ruling.
Anyone have any insight into the template change as opposed to the ruling?

Think about what it is--it's Oriental brass knuckles. The fact that
you're wrestling doesn't mean you can't punch a guy, brass knuckles or no.
