Gam has learned how to utilize her roller blades, not just as movement augmentors, but as lethal weapons that rival typical weapon-users of Japan. With her speed and kicks, she can use Dexterity in place of Brawn to slam her rollerblades into the sides of enemies. Not to mention that, with the training obtained by her recent induction to the Yakuza, has learned how to predict arrows, rocks, and even bullets, able to parry them with nothing but her rollerblades.

Your unarmed attacks deal +2 Bonus Damage (instead of -2). The target's Armor is fully effective against this damage.
You also gain the following effects:

Whenever Cinder is wounded, smoke pours out of the wound, the density of smoke matching the severity of the injury.
Similarly, whenever Cinder exhales, smoke follows. It magically disapates before it can build up to a harmful degree.
Sadly, her body is having trouble keeping up with the rapid changes, causing burns to hideously warp her skin.
Cinder's Lungs now host a magical flame that suffuses her body with enough warmth she'll never have to worry about the cold again.
(This also makes Cinder really good at hugs.)

Marshall Marshall has learned that it is not merely The Great Monkey King that he gains powers from, but from the cosmos itself, including imbuing his non-lethal weapons with the otherworldly power of cosmic lightning. This ability temporarily impeeds the target's chi paths with cosmic energy, slowing or even outright stopping his opponents. His quick reflexes even allow him to shoot this energy to stun an opponent mid-action, making it ineffectual.
(Note, despite the selected skill, this is intended to be used with Non-Lethal Weapon Mastery)
