I'm not obsessed with making every Perk precisely equal. On the other hand, I would prefer that choices between them were realistic choices that could be made to distinguish characters from each other. This demands that none of them are so inherently superior to other Perks that not choosing it would be a deliberate decision to cripple the character compared to someone who did.

I'm not saying that Power Grappling was that bad. But in splitting it, there is certainly more variety between grappling Perks and perhaps an opportunity for more characterisation in choosing them. I also plan to add some grappling Perks. For one thing, there probably ought to be one which provides a bonus to break free rolls.

Defensive Grappler?
Provides a +2 bonus in Quick Contests to break free?
