So, to simplify my notion of skill limitation quirks, bundle it into a metatrait: For 3 points, you get +1 to all techniques that your style teaches for a particular skill. There's no reason to tell players that they just bought a skill level and a quirk.

There's no hard and fast reason to limit the bonus to half a dozen techniques, except that I like the differentiation. I do allow a Style Adaptation perk to relieve that restriction.
