0009288: Killing with fists does not escalate fights from brawl
If you play as a character who is powerful enough to kill with his bare hands, and start a brawl by punching someone, you can punch them all the way to death, and neither they nor their friends will escalate the combat above brawl. However, if I hit them with my instrument, they go no quarter.
Play as a character with powerful fists. (I was playing a moddified gabbro man)
Punch People to death.
Look at their combat states.

It won't escalate even if you keep attacking someone unconscious.

Linked to 0009286, "Fistfights don't count as crimes". Fist fights are apparently no big thing, in both modes.
