[MA] Weapon Questions: Hook, Two-Handed One-Handers

[DemiBenson]

The Hook technique (MA p74) must be based on a specific skill. But if a weapon can be used with more than one skill, does the user need to learn the technique again when using it that way? That seems very expensive - as a hard technique, it costs 2 points to get that first level of penalty reduction, and if you buy it twice (for 4 points minimum, 12 points maximum), you might as well buy up skill level instead and default the second skill.

Am I reading this wrong? Or thinking about it wrong?

Clearly, if you use two hands on a one-handed weapon, you have to use it with Two-Handed [weapon skill]. If the weapon has an entry in both tables, there's no confusion. What do you do with a weapon that only has an entry in the one-handed version? e.g. a baseball bat is considered a knobbed club (MA p219, under Light Club), and knobbed club is listed under Axe/Mace skill, but not under Two-Handed Axe/Mace... but a baseball bat is traditionally wielded with two hands.

Anyone have a good rule for how to treat that?
