Tantric Talent

Sure, but in a cinematic campaign, it's specifically noted that Knife to Halberd (or vice versa) could apply.

And the Power Gaze technique of Intimidation being defaulted from a different skill doesn't seem unbalancing at all.

On the other hand, as I noted, Rasul has already spent more points on Intimidation than Sex Appeal. As such, such a 'Perk' would amount to a penalty.

An Attribute Substitution Perk would work, assuming that I treat Attribute + Talent as equivalent to raw Attribute. Which I do, generally.
