One question: is it strictly legal by RAW to have a perk that converts all of one skill's techniques to default to another skill? I thought you needed a perk for each technique (or at least closely related thing, like improvised weapons/natural weapons default to karate instead of Brawling). That seems like a very powerful perk.
It's legal. It's actually an example in the description of Skill Adaptation:

Of course, the only Style in the book to include that particular Perk is Ultimate Combat. Also, I guess I don't actually mean all Brawling techniques, I mean all techniques except all kicks, sweeps, and knee strikes--otherwise, I agree it would be unfair and too powerful to give to Boxing instead of Karate.
