[PnP] Martial Arts EL bonus - Does it apply to missile weapons?

[Scott Adams]

Yep 1999. Infamous '99 summer with Bertram aka 
Greg.  4 months then his sudden death. ;)
Cool that you had Richard look at Unali.  I never 
had him look at any of my pcs.  Tho I did talk about Xian with him.
I've always considered unali as a MA aka Ninja to 
me.  Based on her skills and such.  So I dunno to 
me in my mind shes there.  But I guess MA is more hand ot hand not daggers.
