I'm not sure I buy it. You're replacing DX with ST in both cases; just what you're lending your experience to changes when it's a skill substitution.

I need to think on it more. My only issues with ST, Weight, and SM usually revolve around the mastery of DX, but there are a lot of rules, including Power Grappling, that make up for this AND make a lot of sense.
