Martial Arts

[Sgt_Pedro]

All the base Martial Arts abilities in HDv3 seem to be way more powerful than those found in the core book, and UMA. Am I missing something?

The are exactly the same. What are you seeing? HD automatically adds STR damage to the martial art damage. Is that what you are seeing?

[Rapier]

I would say, yes.

The Martial Arts in HD3 ARE the powers from the main book and UMA. HD3 is 100% rules compliant.

I see what it's doing. I wasn't noticing the STR damage being added, which is why the strikes all seemed too high. What was throwing me off was the wording of moves like Disarm and Escape.

When it said

Effect: Disarm; 20 STR to Disarm

I read that as adding 20 STR, not BEING 20 STR.

I was replying that I wasn't crazy when I noticed the way it was handling it. Thanks for helping me think out loud =)

If you want to get what the Maneuver is adding switch the pull down menu inside the Maneuver's edit box to "Weapon" and it stops adding STR in.
