Default [Martial Arts] Power Blow speedup technique?

Hi,

(Yes, I know that Power Blow is defined in the Basic Set, but it seems more used in Martial Arts.)

One of my player's character has the Power Blow skill and wondered if it was possible to learn a technique to remove or reduce the penalty for speeding up the skill use.

RAW states the penalty for using the skill at various times:
  • -10 if used instantly
  • -5 if used after 1 turn of concentration
  • ...
  • Finally no penalty for 32 turns of concentration

Many martial arts skills work this way.

Is it possible to create a technique to reduce the penalty?

If I were to do it, I'd do something like Targeted attack where it would be possible to remove half the penalty at most. However, I'm wondering if this has come up before.

Is there a reason not to have this technique, or should it be made so?
