Testing damage with "Wolf Bite" form of this technique. Just realized I had a lot more melee power and strength than I thought when I made the edit, so it doesn't necessarily give bonus damage. Time to test!

blocked by dive for cover — does not make it an etheric technique

0 strength, 9 melee power, 8 etheric power:
17 damage to guard

0 strength, 14 etheric power, 2 evasion, 1 stealth:
7 damage to ghoul, 8 to ganger, 8 to ganger, 8 to ganger, 8 to ganger
not affected by etheric power
Gangers always take 5 damage when I take off the wolfman mask, so they don't have any melee defense.
Looks like no random factor here, but I'm out of energy. If I'm right, ghouls have 1 melee defense and the wolfman mask adds 3 damage. Cool.

Ooo, that is a most excellent idea - I can reduce one stat to 0 and then fight every opponent in the game, and figure out their exact defense values.

Yes, it was a happy accident. I had very little energy (between resets), and was just trying to remove and random factor to the damage so I could determine the damage bonus with only a few combats. It was only when I got to the dockhand that I realized this would also tell me their defense value. :)

I'll help you out, since this is only easily doable between resets when you have low stats.

(spading base drop rates would be a lot easier if you lowered your perception to 0, too)

Excellent!

I've set up a table here for spading work: Opponents Stat Table.

Fire Defense is by far the easiest to test because Dynamite technique doesn't rely on any stat.

Special message for using it following binding words, which i really like themewise. Seems to override the wolf mask being equipt message, and I think (though im not sure) that it increases damage, although it's hard to tell if its from the mask or not.
