I've covered everything Ch'lana was going to teach you this go.

I meant the other powers we'd requested.

So, regarding the techniques that Nightshade taught me . . . does that still fall under the Brawling skill, or can it be counted towards Advanced Martial Arts?  I'm not sure how to categorize this.

Gotta say, I'm a little disappointed.  Your teacher has dark side points I was hoping to at least read about some darker training methods at some point.

You know, Collan walks in, Ch'lana springs into action and using his lightsaber opens a deep cut in the apprentice's chest.  "Hurts doesn't it?  Now let's work on controlling that pain." :)

He was teaching you the Brawling: Martial Arts specialization. You need skill in that before you can move to advanced skills.

Also the advanced techniques are not normally taught to outsiders.

Oooo . . . okay, I don't have the sourcebook handy with me, but how many specializations is a PC allowed to have?  Niil already has 3 of them (Blasters:  Heavy Blaster Pistol, Con:  Disguise and Sneak:  Urban).

As many as you want. If are made to take 3 during character creation because it makes the math easier. You can always take a new specialization.

Can I grab another pip in Lightsaber Repair?  I still have 4 CP left.

Yes. Both of you can.

I'm still allowing you to go into debt.

Oh!  Okay, that's cool.

Just to check:

Besides Lightsaber Repair and the Brawling:Martial Arts specialty skill, is there anything else that Niil can be allowed to improve since his last CP purchases?  I think the most recent purchase was 1D in Sense.

You can both add pips in Lightsabre, Lightsabre Repair, and Control (to the maximum I posted previously).

Niil can take a pips in Brawling: Martial Arts.

Sorry, Craig, I'm not trying to be dense here or flogging a dead horse . . . when you mentioned the maximum you posted previously, I can't seem to find that older reference anywhere.

Aha!  Okay, I completely misunderstood what you were referring to there.  My bad.

So I've already taken everything that's been offered except for Brawling:  Martial Arts specialization.  So, if my Strength attribute is 3D, then getting one pip in Brawling:  Martial Arts specialization would put me at 3D+1, and should cost me 3 CP/2 = 2 CP (rounded up from 1.5), correct?
