Master of Atemi Waza
Assassins with this edge enjoy a bonus to their unarmed and punching
techniques.

Does this help with backfist or tiger claw?

Master of Nin Dogu
Assassins with this edge have specialized their techniques in stealth and
trickery, gaining bonuses to poison smoke, blindness dust, vanish and
caltraps.

Does this make vanish more reliable when the assassin is in combat, or something else?

Master of Keri Waza
Assassins with this edge have specialized their kicking techniques.

Does this make kicks less likely to miss or does it just increase the damage when they actually land?

Overt Malice
Assassins with this edge who stand proudly in the open (foregoing any
subterfuge or stealth) enjoy increased damage to the various kicks taught by
their society.

What does "forgoing any subterfuge or stealth" mean? Just that you don't have any outstanding stalks?

Backfist I'm sure it does, in that a backfist hit is a punch and you'd probably do more damage.

Tiger claw, I don't think so.

IIRC, makes vanish more reliable in general.

Less likely to miss.

Don't remember.
