Knuckle Sandwich inflicts 150% damage, but has a chance to miss the target if it has any resistance to the "strike" attribute. Carver obtains this ability during a story even in Murdaw's Keep. Other characters can learn this ability by advancing to rank 5 of the Martial Artist vocation.

Dragon Quest VII

Carbon copy of VI's version, though in the 3DS remake the multiplier is 2 instead of 1.5.

Dragon Quest IX

This ability is learned with 25 skill points invested into Fisticuffs skill. Damage is base attack + 50%, with no additional chance to miss. Costs 2 MP to use.
