Stunt: "Hand-to-hand combat maneuvers to switch from Fists to Might are made at +2"
The Wresting Trapping says that "you can switch from Fists to Might as the primary combat skill by executing...a wrestling move...See the grappling section"
Grapple says (summarized):
* To establish, you need to tag or invoke an aspect that would justify it.
* To establish, make a Might check
* To maintain, make a Might check (with options to get some nifty actions as supplemental)
So...where would the +2 from the stunt apply? To the initial maneuver to get the stunt? (which is likely NOT a Might check) To the initial establishment of the grapple? (in which case the wording is confusing) To every Might check involved? (in which case it's overpowered)

Hmmmm. I think this stunt got mucked with when we did a late revision to the grappling rules. Let me look at it in the text and contemplate a quick revision.

Okay, the original wording is crap under the new rules (it used to be a roll rather than a tag/invoke). So I think this should be more about being effective with your holds, being able to hold them longer. A grapple counts as an attack-oriented action IMO (since a maintained grapple = the ability to inflict stress), so a +1 is appropriate here rather than a +2. My reword, then, is:
Wrestler: When maintaining a grapple (page 211), gain a +1 to your Might.

Awesome, thanks.
BTW, I love the pre-release PDF. I get the game sooner, and when I get the deadtree version it will be even more polished!
