Default Re: [Martial Arts] Are mollusks susceptible to Arm Lock and Leg Lock?

I think the value is fair for legs if you don't limit yourself to two dimensions. Being able to get your feet up around head level and use them as crude manipulators is fairly valuable. Don't forget that leg cost is already halved relative to arms, too . . . Extra-Flexible costs 2 × (50/10) = 10 points for two arms, but just (50/10) = 5 points for two legs. In game terms, I'd let this eliminate the -2 to DX for using a leg for a task normally assigned to an arm, such as kicking instead of punching, punting a ball instead of throwing it, or grappling with the legs. Just the kicking and grappling bits alone would be worth 6 points as Martial Arts techniques.
