(( Ugh ok scrap that.  I need something high otherwise anybody with a specific weapon skill will slaughter me.
What kind of martial art could I take that'd give me +3 or +4?

Well, the Generic Defense Martial Art (GDMA) would give you a hefty bonus, which is nothing to sneeze at. However, you could come up with a (probably fictional) martial art that only works in specific situations like being inside a building or against targets with firearms. Also, Cado, those are perfectly fine indeed.

I'll come up with a martial art. What bonus would I get for a non lethal martial art? So something to disarm and disable but that can't kill.

I've edited the second skill to a new one and done a second set of advantages and disadvantages.

You'd get +2 to animal taming, and +3 if you went with someone that can disarm and disable someone: do you want a guy you beat up coming back to shoot you in the head?

I can't redirect a bullet or an arrow :).

Not really, but I need something that I can use at any time otherwise all they have to do is wait for me to come outside or something similar.
So unless I can get a +4 by taking a purely lethal martial art then that'll do.

Besides, I can't kill him but I can sure as hell snap his arm's in half. He'll be dead long before he heals.

That all seems to be in order, Grek. You'd get +4 to helping your chickens along, and +1 to remembering important facts you've learned.

If your chickens vanish it totally wasn't the wolves with feathers stuck in their teeth :P.

Hey ranger wanna work together? Your good with a bow and I'm good at tracking thanks to noticing things and having 2 wolves. We can probably survive pretty well working together.

Yeah that could work, plus, if we start doing some 'illegal things', Ghost can work as distraction due to being watched by every guard all the time.
