So my DM is allowing Hamatula Strike with Hamatulatsu Strike and it creates some odd interactions with other abilities.
Lets say some little casty was trying to 5 foot step out of my threatened area. This provokes an attack from Stand Still,and No Escape so I punch him with my stabby fingers and start a grapple. Do I get to add half my level as stated in the Brawler special ability?
