It sounds as if it won't matter how the points add up so buy up as many Techniques as you want..

My apologies if my reply came across as hostile. It wasn't meant to be in the slightest. I was just trying to kill one bird with two stones.

Your insights about how in worked in 3rd edition were enlightening and appreciated.

I suppose what I was seeking in response to #1 was some insight into the design reason for not having the advanced kicking techniques default to kicking instead of Karate. Gold & Apple Inc said that it's a design rule in 4E that techniques cannot default to techniques, which I get, but I am curious WHY, especially since that didn't seem to be the case in 3E.
