[Torg] Martial Arts Question

[Steve Crow]

Yeah, we were going to say, Martial Arts   already gives the basic STR+2 strike. The other way would be to say MArts doesn't give you that: you need Strike.
But probably go with the aforementioned Palm Strike.
*heh* Although that reminds us. The... major discipline? Healing? It says you brew a potion, and get a +2 to the Mind roll to brew it. But it never says what the difficulty of the Mind roll is.

Thanks!
