This would be weird.

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines too, but on the other hand PU2 page 3 specifically excludes racial perks (and says nothing about combat/style perks). Also how many characters are going to be limited by the general limit if it doesn't include "combat" perks? It seems like an almost meaningless restriction compared to the skill based one.

PU2 postdates MA.
