[QUOTE="GameNightLife, post: 6573317, member: 6792960"] When I think martial artists actually fighting, I tend to think of those who can use their environment to their advantage (like Jackie Chan), or can move into more advantageous positions (like a ninja). I'd think that they could get some kind of unusual movement bonus, and flank their opponent more easily. Part of me thinks that if you enjoy lots of perks, you could theme them to the actual martial art style, since there's a zillion of those. Like each style can do a different thing: one does takedowns, one does damage, one does holds, and so on. Restricting the options they have with the extra attack makes it more balanced. Or you could give a restriction-type tradeoff WITH the perk. Like, "You have to have both hands free at the start of your turn to use the extra attack action," or "and you trained somewhere that you had to take a vow to never use weapons at all" (meaning that the Sword of MacGuffiny Power is forever out of their hands).
