I don't usually play games with that few points. But even in my 380-400 point games, which is where most of my games start, players usually don't take that many perks. I still think it is good practice to spend the most restrictive perks first.

What Kromm seems to saying is that you need 60 points in Bow, or 30 points in Bow with an Archery Style because those "Style Perks" aren't available with the regular perk limits. Martial Arts and Power Ups 2 both seem to support this reading. However the consensus here seems to be that I'm wrong.

But if I am wrong, then really why does Power Ups 2 say:

That seems to be pretty clear that what PU2 calls Combat Perks (and what Kromm wants to call Style Perks, here) are subject to this special limit and can't be taken above that. How am I misreading this?

I think Kromm has explained RAW, but that most people in this thread doesn't play RAW.
