Better Damage Bonus for combat skills using Skill Adaptation perk

[aesir23]

I'd say no. For the obvious reason that it's clearly an attempt to get Karate for the price of Brawling.

Better go the other way: Weapon Adaptation (Brawling Improvised Weapons default to Karate.) + Bite Mastery. No you have the best of both worlds for slightly more than the price of one.

As far as, is it legal? There's no particular rule that says no, but this is a totally invented quirk, and therefore a house rule and up to the GM. Skill Adaptation, IIRC, is for adapting maneuvers or Techniques from one skill to another. There is no precedent for transplanting bonuses.

(e.g. clinch allows grapple with a striking skill, but no perk gives the Wrestling ST bonus to another skill.)
