Chuck's Comments: The Powerhouse took a dip into the unarmed pool, having seen how easily someone (like the Empath) could make a disarm or trip specialist, the Powerhouse took steps to protect himself.

When disarming and tripping aren't purposely crippled, arcane combat options, lots more players try them. Imagine that.
