Offensive Penalty Skill Levels - Question

[Panpiper]

Ok, I want to use a weapon that has a built in -2 OCV modifier. I want to use the martial arts maneuver 'Offensive Strike' with this weapon. Can I buy two Offensive Penalty Skill Levels for two character points to compensate for the -2 OCV of the specific weapon? And can I then for another two character points buy two more Offensive Penalty Skill Levels to compensate for the -2 OCV modifier imposed the the 'Offensive Strike' martial arts maneuver?

I expect the answer is yes on all counts, but I just want to confirm.

I'll get over my newbieness someday...

I'm not over my newbieness yet :)

I have a feeling you can not use PSLs to counter manoeuvre penalties - you need to use 'normal' skill levels, but I may be making that up. I think you can buy them to counteract the OCV penalty of a specific weapon though.

With GM Permission on the first, as it is no a specific attack that has the OCV penalty. Technically these should be 2pt Combat Skill Levels with a specific weapon.

No. On the second, specifically disallowed in the description of PSLs.
