Martial Arts: Good Bye and Hello

[luke]

So the martial arts mechanics didn't make the cut for the Revision.

I know, it sucks. But it had to be.

However, all the martial arts from the book and from this site are going to be compiled and released as a free pdf download.

What we really need now are Martial Art Burning rules. We need a Fist Burner (or something like that).

So... any suggestions?

I've been working on something exactly like that, abzu. Give me a few days to knock it into presentable form and I'll show it to everyone.

Is this because of your loathing for Asians? :?

[Yagathai]

Huh. I was doing some math-type deconstructions of the martial arts in the book to see if they fit with my proposed schema -- and they did -- and I'm curious: Did you guys use any sort of point- or math-based system to create those three martial arts, or did you just tweak them until they "felt right". Because when I crunch the numbers on them they all come out pretty much exactly as powerful as one another.

It's all tweak-feel. (MUCH playtesting.)

Just ask my girlfriend, I'm very good at tweak feel...

though there are some bits that need revising.

:o

Just exactly what bits of your girlfriend need revising, exactly?

Her Chaos bits. :oops:
