[MENTION=12430]gribble[/MENTION], for what it's worth, I agree that not taking Combat Martial Arts was a valid rp design decision on your part, particularly since T-dawg is a lover not a fighter. I think the title of the feat is a little misleading, however; it could just as easily be called "Street Brawling" or "Sucker Punch," and grant the same effect without connotating proficiency in martial arts per se. If ever you see a rules mechanic that you'd like to take for your character but the fluff seems to not match your vision, let's talk and see if we can't re-skin the rule to make it work.
One of my pet peeves is having to justify to a third party my design or strategy decisions, so I'm sorry I put you in that position.
