“Channel your chi to unleash devastating fury! If you're the pugilistic sort and favor unarmed weaponry to inflict pain and suffering to an ever-more impressive degree, this is the perk for you! Let's not dwell on the slight shortfall of the difficulty in fighting multiple opponents at once; this focuses all your muscle on one hapless fall. Consult the Weapons chapter for the variety of punching weapons available.”— Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide description
