I am still working out some of the math behind this... to determine how, exactly, we want this to play out. Until then, keep playing, feel free to try out different levels of permissiveness (from no modifiers, to common sense modifiers, to all modifiers) and let me know how it goes.
If it helps, here are specific playtests I have conducted, noting where modifiers might have applied, and what the outcome would have been:

Jun 26 post – blindness modifiers

Sep 3 – sickened modifiers
Sep 18 – improved grab modifiers
Oct 2 – cover modifiers
I just wanted to point something out:
I'm sure in pretty much every game I've played,
somebody FORGOT or DECIDED to forget to apply every single modifier to MELEE.
That's the realistic outcome of the status quo.
And I think it's OK: If you don't want to sweat it, you just don't sweat it.
So keeping Maneuvers 100% compatable with Attack/Touch Modifiers seems like something which is already a 100% "known factor" and which takes zero additional brain cells to track, since there's no new sub-systems or exceptions to remember.
