Btw, was I right in recalling that at least technique listed in say MA that have defaults (that aren’t themselves to defaults) are available to characters to use at well?

That’sa good point, so defensive stuff are somewhat more worthwhile.

To me, it seems odd that Fast-Drawing a knife should be equally difficult as drawing a great sword, because it’s heavier (bulk) and longer piece to remove from the sheathe (reach). Although, I haven’t used or really seen Fast-Draw irl, so I wouldn’t know for sure.
How would you go about penalising it?
