 I would suggest that the -1CS for unarmed combat represents a rare
instance of a 'hidden loyalty penalty' :)

 Maybe. :-D I think we're really just trying to reduce the chances of
having readers write in to us to say, "But shouldn't it work this way?"
(That or we're slightly obsessive about the whole thing. Or both...)
  
  The way I see it, the "reader loyalty bonus" is that the player gets to
 compare their old bonuses to the equivalent new Grandmaster bonus and
 use the best bonus applicable.

 That's actually a really good way to explain it. 
    As far as I can tell, the best unarmed combat bonus you can get from
the
 Magnakai books is Scion-Kai Weaponmastery which states

 * "... when in combat without a weapon [Scion-kai] lose only 1 point
 from their COMBAT SKILL"

 yet in the Grandmaster series (under Kai no COMBAT SKILL loss when
fighting
 bare-handed"

 I would guess that the final -1 goes away at Grand Master rank?
