As if being a week behind wasn't enough - I sent this last night & EGroups bounced it (but not other messages sent at the same time?) - I tried loading it via the web earlier and IE Crashed on me.... so Apologies if it has actually appeared before

I don't think I would do it this way myself... I would use the Close Combat for anyone fighting the undead thingie, but allow the Humakti to Augment /gain an edge/ whatever (I'm still not completely clear about which of these you use in what situation...) based on his fight undead.
Possibly the Undead thingie would also generate some sort of bonus itself (or penalty to foes) for being undead, and in this case the fight undead ability might automatically negate this for the Humakti (not really sure about this bit...)
