similar to unarmed combat but not limited to hand to hand only. More <br>
effective than hand to hand, but more expensive to learn as well.<br>
<br>
According to the description the martial arts master can add his bonuses <br>
to any weapon that he is skilled to use.<br>
I would rule that includes thrown weapons for certain, and probably <br>
other ranged weapons as well but that specific situation did not yet <br>
come up. But you are completely right: it is your game, your rules.<br>
