Each Martial Art style costs 250 Karma, or a talent slot to gain. You then possess the basic style that allows a +1 CS to fighting when you use this style in combat. Each special maneuver under each style costs an additional 250 Karma or Talent slot to gain and gives whatever bonus the maneuver bestows in addition to the +1 CS to fighting. We never allowed damage from an attack to exceed AM50. As we play a low level game, this problem never arose. You can figure it out for yourselves though. I feel this system adds a lot more realism to the game instead of the old system of Martial Arts A-E or whatever it's up too now.
