[Anthony]

How balanced or unbalanced does it seem to have a leveled perk of:
Increased Technique Maximum 1/level. Allows raising a technique above its normal maximum by 1/level.

This basically means you can continue raising techniques above their normal limits, at a cost of [2] instead of [1]. Given that you can just raise everything for [4] that doesn't seem too exploitable in general, but I could be missing some obvious abuses.
