3 and 4) ...wait, so what are the Boons that allow you to "add X martial art as supporting characteristic to defence" doing? Don't you get to add Internal Martial Art to defence without "A touch of internal mastery"?
Similar question should apply to "adding your martial art as Weapon Rating" (not Weapon Strength). If you're already adding it anyway - and what MA doesn't teach attack? - what are those Boons doing?

2) Intuition is called out as "adding to Surprised Defence". So it doesn't add to Normal Defence without a boon (there is one)? Then we might get to a point where a socialite has higher Surprised Defence (and not believing a fight is starting might make them more likely to dodge the first assault).
Player: "Nah, I don't believe anyone would resort to violence...Oh! A punch? Quelle surprise!"
