Assuming the removal of the cling-power (for -.5), and the addition of the slight drawback (for another -.5):
Pick Focus - Nathaniel has heavily specialized in the use of picks - his current martial stances and techniques training do not apply to more general weapon use outside of wielding pick-like weapons and unarmed combat, and expanding his training to include such weapons would be similar to learning the technique from scratch (100gp but only 25 BP instead of 50).
As discussed in the chat, approved!

As a note for anyone else reading this - I feel this is a real drawback for this character but it's so specific to this case that I would not assume it would be applicable to others. For example, being restricted to swords isn't much of a drawback. Being restricted to fans when you have, like, 2 abilities that make you awesome at wielding fans in combat (or a starting fan whose powers revolve heavily around being all-purpose in combat) isn't much of a restriction either. Also, all of this hinges on Nathanial being a very charge-into-combat sort of PC.
