			Prerequisites: Dexterity 3+, Melee 2+, Martial Artist (Melee)<br>
			The character is trained in effective use of a knife. This particular style is normally taught to special forces operatives around the world, although it is taught to civilians or the public in certain schools. Spetsnaz knife fighting uses a single-edged knife in a downwards (reverse) grip. Maneuvers are quick, fluid movements followed-up with slashes or stabs to vitals.<br>
			: '''Rank 1''': Anticipate Attack-the character has learned to move fast before and in response to incoming attacks. The character may substitute his Melee score for his Wits for initiative when using a knife.<br>
			: '''Rank 2''': Advantageous Angle-the character knows how to make a feinted attack from the side and then stage an attack from a different angle. Any dodge or parry attempts against the knife-wielder's attack is at a +1 difficulty. This maneuver can only be used once every other turn.<br>
			: '''Rank 3''': Vital Attack-the character is an expert in targeting vital organs and vulnerabilities. Attacks made with a knife reduce the enemy's soak by 1 and the character also reduces any penalties to make a called shot with a knife by 1.<br>
			: '''Rank 4''': Slash and Stab-the character's deftness with a knife allows him to make two attacks against one target in a single action. The first attack is made as normal, but the second attack is +1 difficulty. This can only be used once per turn and also penalize any defensive maneuvers by +1 difficulty.

 : '''Rank 4''': Tactical Intervention-Nerves of steel and trained reflexes allow the sniper to take advantage of the shortest opportunities for accurate shots. The difficulty penalties for shooting into close combat or against enemies in cover are halved, rounded down.<br>
 : '''Rank 5''': One Shot, One Kill-When your character gets his or her hands on a rifle, people fall down. When making aimed shots with a rifle, the rifle's damage is increased by a number of automatic successes equal to your Firearms skill. A character firing a 12.7mm rifle (6L [4] damage) with Firearms 4 deals 6L [8] damage instead. To use this the character must spend 1 willpower.

Therefore a character may take a maximum of 7 actions. For the purposes of this, a full defense counts as 1 action. Multiple action penalties are otherwise unchanged.

	~~=Martial Arts Modification=~~
	Martial Arts, instead of being a replacement for Brawl that uses Dexterity, now is a skill with no attribute (like Thought Discipline). Instead, for each dot of martial arts, the character may add +1 to his defense, accuracy, or damage when making hand to hand attacks, the limit being that the character may only add up to half his martial arts rating (rounded up) in any one category. Martial Arts may not be higher than Brawl. Brawl can use either dexterity or strength to attack in this event.

	To change over, characters with martial arts should switch that over to Brawl. Characters with both skills should use the higher one as their new Brawl score and the lower one as their Martial Arts score.
