Bad Grip

Cost: -5/level
Bad Grip is a physical, mundane disadvantage, described in Basic Set, p. 123.
MA42 introduced the "One Hand Only" -80% limitation, which halves the value for 2H tasks. In 3e it was -50% for 2-handed beings (HB37) and full penalties for 2H tasks.
MA42 also specifies:
:Since Bad Grip 1 gives -2 to grapple or use melee weapons
Hellboy Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game was clearest defining Bad/Poor Grip on page 36-37:
:a penalty to DX or DX-based skills for many actions, including acrobatics, catching things, fine mechanical work, climbing, and most melee weapon use (but not punchin!)
This acknowledges that punching is a melee weapon and explicitly forbids penalizing it.
