If a character buys a 2-point CSL with Strike, he must define the type of Strike — Punch, Sword Slash, or whatever. He cannot apply the Level to any type of Strike (but at the GM’s option, a character could buy 3-point CSLs that apply to all HTH Strikes, or all Ranged Strikes).

This is the basic attack Maneuver. It includes attacks such as punches, kicks, elbow smashes, headbutts, attacks with weapons, firing a gun or a longbow, and just about any other way a character can hit another character. The basic OCV, DCV, and damage modifiers are +0, but the OCV modifier and the damage may vary by weapon type.
So what are things that are not a ranged strike? Anything HTH, obviously. Ranged Martial arts not based on Strike, likely. Ranged Maneuvers like Hip Shot, Ranged Disarm and Snap Shot, probably not?
Not sure about the effect of Set and Brace with this type of CSL.
I am guessing / hoping that it's limited to only damaging effects like KA, TK, Blast, Mental Blast? Or would it apply to all Attack Powers (6e1, 144)?
Then there is this to confuse things further for me:
6e2, 83

OTHER ATTACKS
Characters use this Maneuver when making any other attack not listed, including using Attack Powers such as Drain, Blast, Entangle, Flash, or other Powers that require an Attack Roll. To attack, the character should just make a normal Attack Roll, modified by any particular modifiers for the Power, Skill Levels used, or applicable Combat Modifiers.

They call out Blast here specifically.
Help?
