Can a Kaiju take Martial Artist? Also if I did, or Brawler for that matter, would it add the d4 to damage or just change into a +1 on the existing strike bonus? I'm back-and-forth'ing in my head on whether I want that, or to raise a stat
I’d say no on Martial Artist for a kaiju, only because I envision that Edge representing formal combat training. Granted, Godzilla does perform a flying drop kick and boxing moves in some of the movies, but I choose to pretend that didn’t happen ;) Kaiju do already have one of the benefits of that Edge - they automatically ignore the Unarmed Defender rule.

But I’m fine with kaiju taking the Brawler Edge. My understanding is that Brawler upgrades the +d4 bonus damage die, not the base Strength die. So for someone with the Brawler Edge and Claws, the d4 becomes d6.

That means a kaiju with the Brawler Edge and the Claws racial ability would do Strength+2d12+1d6 for damage. Without Claws, it would be Strength+2d12+1d4.
