Line 77:

* [[Exalted|Dragon-Claw Elemental Strike.]]

* Presumably at least some of the creatures in ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' with “Firebreathing” abilities- the ability to pay mana to increase their damage. The most obvious would be [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=189212 this one].

* Any spell in ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~ Dragons]]'' which requires touching your enemy can be delivered through a punch, though this is harder than just touching them. A number of [[Prestige Class]]es also have abilities along these lines, like the [[Kung Fu Wizard|enlightened fist]] (which allows you to convert other spells to touch spells, and cast them without pausing your attacks). In addition, any [[Spell Blade]] ability can be applies to unarmed strikes.

** [[Eberron|Warforged]] have the Shocking Fist feat, which allows them to charge their fist with electricity.

* ''[[Pathfinder]]'' inherits ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~ Dragons]]'''s rules on touch spells, and also adds a series of feats which allow a character to use a specific magical ability after hitting with a punch.

* [[Champions]] offers any sort of elemental attack as a basic power. Hand to Hand Attack for normal, Killing Attack for, well, killing damage. It being HERO, the special effects are up to the player.

* ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]'' has multiple ways of doing this, including adding Mighty to an elemental Strike power, or creating a touch-range aura.

Line 104:

* ''[[Samurai Shodown]] 2'' had Wan-Fu channel flame through his weapon. Which might be a bit of overkill, since the weapon involved is a huge stone pillar.

* The ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' and ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' series switch between weapons with innate elemental properties and separate equipment that grants elemental attacks. Slaughtering armies of mooks is just that much more satisfying when they fly burning through the air.

* Cole Mcgrath of ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' is a firm believer in the electro-punch when he has to get his hands dirty, and also has elemental headbutts thrown into the mix.

* The protagonists in all three ''[[Disgaea]]'' games have these. Laharl and Adell have fire punches, while Mao has a palm of light, or some kind of plasma, it's hard to tell.
