I'm rather bad at writing games for players or GMs who game in the confrontational style, or for players who think the game is a competition. I write for cooperative players who collaborate with each other and the GM to create a good story. From what I know of Peter's group, this is true of him as well. So Martial Arts won't make you very happy if you're in one of those groups where you can't trust the GM or other players. The Tactics rule is just the tip of the iceberg. "Kicking butt to tell a good story" is more or less the theme of the book.
