That's my interpretation of this post, but I could be wrong.
I wouldn't read it that way. Particularly taken in context of the definitions of limbs provided in Characters. A leg is something you locomote on, and kicks are attacks with legs.

Re: List Of your favorite Custom Perks
 
I'm not sure if this has come up yet, as it seems kind of obvious:

Sea Legs The character negates up to -4 in penalties for actions undertaken while standing on rolling, shifting, or canted footing. If the character must roll to avoid falling down under such circumstances, the character has a +4 bonus to that roll. This Perk is most appropriate for an Age of Sail or Swashbuckler campaign.

Alternately, one might introduce a Lubber Quirk. The character suffers a -2 to physical tasks undertaken while on a rolling, shifting, or canting ship. In especially severe cases (bad weather, ship-to-ship combat) the GM may require a DX roll to avoid falling.

Too strong. A +2 or to negate up to -2 is more than enough.
The Naval Training perk and the Sure Footed perk gives us two good measures of bonuses and penalties negated.

You must take regular care of your weapon(s), or have someone that can perform the maintenance for you.
does Standard Operating Procedure reflect such cleaning/maintenance?

I see no reason why not. You'll still lose the benefits of Clean and Polished in a situation where you can't have been maintaining the gear, but you'll get the benefit of the doubt as to when you can have been.

That works for me, allowing that provision, I'd keep the perk

In our game we called this the Han Solo slap!

It can, yes.

This would've been great for Eddie Izzard...


...sorry. Continue... continue....
